The Old Basin
First stop on our trip, a walk around the Vieux-Bassin, very early in the morning, to avoid the crowds and have Honfleur to ourselves. The lights are magnificent, the facades colorful and the charm undeniable. We take advantage of this morning to stroll through the streets and admire the unique architecture that characterizes the city of artists. There are so many bars and restaurants in the historic center that we have no trouble finding a nice place with a view for an impromptu breakfast on the terrace!

Seafood focus
Our afternoon continues with a guided tour with the theme: “Loving Conquest in Honfleur”. We cross the medieval city lulled by the anecdotes of our guide. We take the opportunity to discover pretty shops, art galleries and local products and this gives us an idea…
An aperitif with your feet in the sand
By discovering the boutiques of local, we were inspired and the idea of a picnic on the beach was born. After having visited the different producers of the territory in search of cheeses, breads, sausages, cider and other 100% local foodstuffs, here we are on the booty beach, feet in the sand, admiring the sunset with our basket full of good things!
The day is coming to an end...
Up at 5 a.m. for a ascent of Mont-Joli, with the objective of a breathtaking view of the old town at sunrise. A walk accessible from the city center with the reward of magnificent lights, a breathtaking view of the Normandy Bridge and a moment suspended in time when all the people of Honfleur are still asleep.
Once at the top, we discover the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Chapel… sumptuous!
We learn that the 23 chimes ring out every day, at 16 p.m., the Ave Maria. We will come back, for sure, to admire this sweet spectacle !
The Estuary Route
We continue our journey in Honfleur lands, by the estuary road, in order to discover the gems hidden around Honfleur. A very pretty route running through the entire territory with a few essential stops: The ancient Abbey of Grestain, Berville sur mer, The Medieval House...
Admire the landscape…
