FTC RIDER

offers private chauffeur transfers to and from Le Havre, rebuilt almost entirely in reinforced concrete after near-total destruction in the Second World War. Architect Auguste Perret’s grid-planned city centre was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2005 — one of the very few 20th-century urban ensembles to receive the honour, a striking contrast to the medieval old towns found elsewhere in Normandy.

FTC Rider covers transfers between Le Havre’s Gare du Havre station — around 2 hours 10 minutes from Paris Saint-Lazare by train — and the city centre, plus pickups at the Terminal de la Citadelle cross-Channel ferry port, France’s busiest link to Portsmouth, UK.

Beyond the city, FTC Rider drivers regularly take clients to the Étretat cliffs — the white chalk arches and needle immortalised by Monet and Maupassant — and to the picturesque harbour town of Honfleur, making Le Havre a convenient base for exploring the Normandy coast.
