When it comes to Normandy property, buyers can enjoy a big tent in December – and that does not mean living in one.

For those who enjoy a good bit of circus entertainment, Le Havre will be home to the Medrano Circus, with shows running from December 29th 2008 to January 4th 2009, with several performances each day.

For those who do not do any clowning around when it comes to buying Normandy property, Le Havre may provide some pleasant surprises beyond the big top.

One of them is the port’s status as a Unesco world heritage site.

This title was bestowed upon the town in recognition of the style and quality of the blueprint formulated by Auguste Perret to rebuild it after years of bombing in the second world war, a master plan that was put into place between 1945 and 1964.

Unesco awarded the status in 2005.
