Honfleur is located on the mouth of the river Seine, to the south of Le Havre.
Honfleur is an old fishing port with a beautiful harbour.
The old town is outstanding with cobbled streets sporting shops, art galleries and and so many restaurants that on a recent visit we lost count.
Whilst those on the harbour front offer the best views
the best value may be found at restaurants away from the quayside in the little streets behind the Quai Sainte- Catherine like La Tortue, 36 rue de l’Homme de Bois.
Our recommendations: Honfleur is a good place
for people watching – check out the cafes and fish restaurants on the harbour front from where you can watch the pleasure craft coming and going.
For a different view of the town head along one of the minor roads to the south where you can also see the impressive suspension bridge over to Le Havre – the largest in Europe
