The complex also offers saunas, a hammam, cold and hot baths, spa areas with hydro-massage and aquagym areas.

The Docks in the south end of the port city of La Havre are the oldest in France. The whole area is going through massive reformation with the goal of making it cultural and shopping neighborhood. When completed, the area will featured a large park, a tropical greenhouse, cinemas, bowling alleys and a shopping center plus Sea Centre in 2011.

This Sea Centre will be a display of shipping and sailing. It will be a 120-meter-high metallic structure with exhibit areas, an aquarium, a meteorological station and a restaurant with panoramic 360-degree views of Port of Le Havre.

The complex is designed by the 2008 Prtizker-prize winning architect Jean Nouvel. He also projected many well-known public buildings literally span the world from New York to Reykjavik, Dubai, Seoul and Tangiers. Recent interesting buildings include the bright-red research center for the maker of brakes for luxury cars, Brembo, in Italy.
