We're in Le Havre today, resting our feet in a craft ale bar (surprise!) after walking around for several hours with no firm plans. We've seen some very nice sights and great architecture but none nicer than the Église Saint-Joseph designed by the mentor of Le Corbusier, Auguste Perret. It is absolutely incredible and really difficult to describe, sorry.

1. This one's tricky. We're inside a church that is made from concrete looking from one corner up the tower that stretches over a hundred metres above us. Concrete pillars support the square tower until it reaches a central octagonal spire that reaches up further still. Lining the walls in the main church and the square tower and the octagonal spire are tall slits of windows comprising coloured glass in abstract mosaic patterns. The light from outside the church transforms the walls inside into strips of kaleidoscopic colour reaching up through the geometric concrete structure. It's utterly beautiful.
