Company description

General description : Nestling in a valley between the Seine estuary and the plateau of the Pays d’Auge, Honfleur enjoys a temperate climate making it an ideal place to visit at any time of the year.
Still a fishing port, and now a popular yacht harbour, the town has preserved its rich historic and artistic heritage with its picturesque streets, traditional buildings, museums, churches and monuments.
To visit Honfleur is to travel back in time through our beautifully preserved old town....
The oldest, and most visited, part of Honfleur lies within the area of the Hôtel de Ville, the deconsecrated church of Saint-Etienne, the remains of the old prison (nowadays, the Normandy Cultural Museum) and the original 17th century Salt Halls (Greniers à Sel), now used for exhibitions, conferences and concerts.
Around the Sainte-Catherine's 15th and 16th century church can be found narrow cobbled streets, art galleries and traditional craft shops. This Church was built by shipwrights and is the largest wooden church with a separate bell-tower in France. The bell-tower, also largely built of wood, dates from the end of the 15th century and is now a museum of religious art.

A traditional Honfleur afternoon stroll is along the sea-walls from the old port, past the lighthouse and lock, to the beach. Along the walk, a new “garden of fame” has been created, featuring more than 12 Honfleur celebrities. All were born, or lived and worked, in Honfleur and they include the famous painter Claude Monet, the musician Erik Satie and the writers Charles Baudelaire and Alphonse Allais. A pleasant, leisurely, way to discover Honfleur’s heritage !
Situated between the sea-walls and the Boulevard Charles V is also a garden providing a quiet spot to rest...
From the Côte de Grâce, the hill some 1,5 km from the town centre, are spectacular views of the Seine estuary, the harbour and Le Havre. Nearby is one of the region’s oldest sanctuary chapels, Notre Dame de Grâce, founded by Richard II and rebuilt between 1600 and 1615.
The Mont Joli is a continuation of the Côte de Grâce and provides a magnificent view of the Pont de Normandie (largest bridge of its kind in Europe with a central span of 856 m) and the Seine Valley.
