Honfleur lies at the foot of the Cote de Grace hill overlooking the wide waters of the Seine estuary. Bathed in the soft light of the northern sea, it is the most picturesque of ports and has appealed to great painters over the centuries, including Boudin and the Impressionists and remains today a haunt for painters and artists, with its old world charm and atmosphere. Honfleur is just a 20 minute drive from the channel port of Le Havre over the magnificent Pont de Normandie and 50 minutes from Caen.
Honfleur is steeped in history and boasts a busy all year round cultural calendar, myriad restaurants, markets, specialist shops, and beach, making it an ideal holiday location. It also serves as an ideal base for exploring the spectacular Normandy coastline with its sandy beaches and the surrounding countryside. Paris is just a two hour train ride away.
