The large volcano contains a 1200 seat theatre and 350 seat cinema, while the small volcano has a 500 seat hall and 80 seat auditorium and is now used as a reference library. The forum is built from concrete and the buildings are linked and accessed via ramps. The centre of Le Havre is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
