View Northern Europe & Fjords on the mapA modernist city that Auguste Perret rebuilt in concrete after World War II devastated it; its districts are registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has none of the prettiness of an old city, but its geometric streetscape, wide sky and the texture of the Normandy sea are distinctive.
