Very near to the ferry ports (Le Havre and Caen), Honfleur is the ideal place for a relaxing long weekend.

Honfleur is the perfect balance between self-indulgence and interesting things to see.

Self-indulgence:

  • Strolling in the very picturesque town
  • Boat trip on the river Seine
  • Eating sea-food in the lovely old port

Interesting things:

  • Sainte Catherine church (built by local shipbuilders)
  • The beautifully maintained gardens
  • The Naturospace: a tropical butterfly center
  • Eugène Boudin impressionist museum
  • Maisons Erik Satie

Good to know
The best time to visit Honfleur is spring and automn; away from summer crowds and away for winter gloomy weather !
