Timeline
Partners
A virtual reality reconstruction of the Grand Quai (today Quai Southampton), made for a digital Timescope terminal by the city of Le Havre as part of Un Été au Havre (500th anniversary of the city). It was from this platform, at No. 43, at the Hotel de l'Amiraute, that Claude Monet painted the celebrated Impression, certainly rising in the winter of 1872.
