Venue and Accommodation
The 2024 GreenPort Congress and Cruise will take place at Carre des Docks in Le Havre, France, hosted by HAROPA PORT.
Designed in keeping with Auguste Perrot’s vision for the town, Carre des Docks is an innovative sustainable building and in keeping with the spirit of the event.
Originally the ‘Docks Café’, the venue was inaugurated at the end of 2016 in a restoration project led by architects Paul Andreu and Thomas Richez. The Docks area symbolises the image of renewal and modernity of the LeHavre area. It constitutes a new attractive and unique place by focusing on the high-quality urban developments around the basins and elements of the port’s past.
