Hi All

The right name of the city in France is "Le Havre". You might also find
its old name "Le Havre de Grâce". As "Le" means a masculine 'The" in
french, the name of the city might be slightly altered (due to french
gramatical) in some french sentence like:
"départ du Havre" would be used instead of "départ de Le Havre" which
doesn't sound properly for french speakers (It means departure from "Le
Havre")

Sincerely

Guillaume
Paris, France
