Best Luxury Hotels In Honfleur
A pretty harbour town on the Seine estuary and the English Channel, Honfleur was originally a fortified trade port and played a significant role in the Hundred Years’ War. Its pretty quayside – Vieux Bassin – retains multi-storey, half-timber houses in bright colours, but glamorous yachts now take the place of fishing vessels and commercial ships. Visit attractions including the Maritime Museum, the 17th-century Chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, The Eugène Boudin Museum with its fine arts display and linger at the many waterside eateries. Honfleur has long attracted artists, including Claude Monet, who immortalised its scenes through his work.
