I too have an error message when I try to access Gallica . It worked half an hour ago and I am in France .

Try later , it may work .

If you access Gallica  , enter plan du Havre and choose plan du havre in the drop-down menu.

I gave you the Gallica link twice , I meant to give you this one instead.

Have you tried to access Gallica just by entering" Gallica" in the Google search bar  ? and then enter "plan du Havre" in the gallica search bar.

I have typed Gallica in google and clicked on Gallica – The BnF digital library | BnF – Institutional website , Recueil d'ancienne littérature française . | Gallica - BnF and Recueil | Gallica - BnF

All three have the same message "this site can't be reached"

I am in Australia.

I am no expert but I think Gallica is open to anyone , there are no secrets in Gallica that should be kept " for french eyes only".
But your computer may protect you strongly from foreign sites, may be you could either:

disconnect your VPN
or
erase the bnf cookies on your computer
or
try another navigator 

and surely some other answers , but as I said ,I am no expert.

I found these solutions on the web by entering "accessibilité du site gallica depuis l'étranger""problème d'affichage sur Gallica" " faut-il un VPN pour accéder à gallica depuis l'étranger".

You are not the first one to have this problem and I would really lke to find an answer.


Of course I could send you the maps of Le Havre if nothing works .

Good luck , let us know if something works.

Thanks, I will try later. I am not home. I can access the Departmentales Archives Seine Maritime for the LeHavre/LeHeure Grasville/Graville 1845 -1847, birth and death records plus the 1846 Census with no issues.
