Why visit Honfleur?

Honfleur is a small port in Normandy at the mouth of the Seine, and its Vieux Bassin, the old harbour lined with tall, narrow slate-fronted houses, is one of the most painted views in France. Artists from Eugène Boudin to Claude Monet worked here, and Boudin's work hangs in the town museum named after him.

The Church of Sainte-Catherine is the largest wooden church in France, built by local shipwrights in the 15th century with a roof that looks like an upturned hull, and its bell tower stands separately across the square. The Maisons Satie celebrate the composer Erik Satie, who was born in the town. Wander the cobbled lanes full of galleries, then eat moules, oysters and Normandy cheeses such as Pont-l'Évêque, with cider or calvados. Honfleur is a short drive from the Pont de Normandie, the seaside resorts of Deauville and Trouville, and the Pays d'Auge with its timbered farms and orchards.
