Chain of Containers (Le Havre)

Highlight • Monument

Catène de Container is a sculpture in Le Havre, France.

The sculpture is prominently located near the entrance to the port of Le Havre. Created in 2017 by Vincent Ganivet to mark the port's 500th anniversary, it consists of colored shipping containers arranged in two arches. One of the arches, composed of 21 containers, is high and steep, bridging a smaller flat arch composed of 15 containers. The shape and color of the containers give the impression of using large building blocks.

The sculpture weighs a total of 288 tons and reaches a height of 28.5 meters. It manages without supports and uses the principle of the catenary used by the architect Antoni Gaudí, whereby the forces and tensions within a chain are used for support.

The name Catène de Container goes back to the Latin word Catène for chain and means something like container chain in German. It is a double allusion to the construction principle used in the chain and to the supply chain, which also includes the containers and ultimately the port.

The inauguration took place on May 27, 2017. Due to its unusual shape, size and striking location, the sculpture quickly became a landmark in Le Havre.

Le Havre Marina

Highlight • Structure

There are several marinas next to each other. Due to the large tidal range, the boats are sometimes dry. You can see the furrowed mudflats beautifully.

The Beach, Le Havre

Highlight • Monument

Although it is made up of pebbles, Le Havre beach is quite busy in summer thanks to its immediate proximity to the city.

The beach hosts a work of art called UP # 3. Initially designed to be ephemeral, this monumental sculpture seduced the inhabitants of Le Havre and the town hall decided to perpetuate the sculpture.
