From 1815, LE HAVRE established itself as the leading French port for trade and trade in tropical foodstuffs (cotton, coffee, wood, spices, etc.) . On the strength of this reputation and flourishing activity, the port very quickly became too small and the Le Havre merchants demanded its expansion. To meet this demand, the "Vauban Basin" and the "Eure Basin" were created in the middle of the 19th century. Then the "Bassin des Docks" was created in its turn and finally, the "Vauban Warehouses". In 1846, with the creation of the "Docks", the people of Le Havre were thus the first French to discover a type of construction never carried out in France until then. Built on the English model around a basin, for a century and a half they housed the goods which made the splendor of Le Havre trade. In 1875, no less than 780,000 bags of coffee passed through these warehouses. Five years later, the establishment of futures markets for tropical products made Le Havre the French stronghold for the coffee trade. In 1937, Le Havre definitely established itself as a hub for the coffee trade, with a transit of 80% of French imports! THE REHABILITATION OF "DOCKS CAFE": The approach adopted for this rehabilitation was twofold: 1. Intervene in the logic of large-scale port installations, characterized by the repetitive frame of the framework, the position of the sheds in the port, the alternation of quays and parallel basins ... 2. Provide a professional tool, efficient, sober and meeting the main needs of organizers and exhibitors, freeing up the maximum amount of usable space. After eleven months of construction, the Docks Café has thus been transformed into an exhibition center of 17,500 m², of which 15,644 m² are primarily dedicated to trade fairs, fairs and exhibitions, and nearly 2,000 m² of additional surfaces ( conference room and restaurant in particular) , for corporate events. The rehabilitation carried out thus makes it possible, by offering the local and regional market an original and rational event space, to magnify the beauty and coherence of industrial architecture.
