Honfleur is a pretty town. And the Port is the heart of it. Lined with beautiful and colorful buildings. Cafés, shops and mostly restaurants are lined up along the harbour. The Musée de la Marine, the église Saint-Étienne, the Musée du Vieux Honfleur and La Lieutenance are some spots you might want to check out. All found right here at the port. The whole area is just picture-perfect and a sight for itself. On the east side of the harbour the walking area is pretty wide and is less visited - due to the lack of restaurants it seems. The west side though is much more narrow and completely packed with restaurants and guests. At times difficult to get through. That part isn't very enjoyable. And most restaurants cater to visitors that focus more on the scenic views than the quality of food. If you want an enjoyable meal, better head elsewhere in town. Besides that it's really a pretty spot to be and surely a must-do and must-see when in the area. read more

If you're staying, make sure you stay for Saturday, for it is market day! Fresh fish right out of the boat, how fresh is that!!! You want snails? They have several sizes, and colors! Shrimp? They have those in various sizes, & colors too! And you can buy them cooked or still wiggly. This is another cozy little town. I like it here! St. Catherine Church, the first nave was put up in 1466, it soon became apparent that more space was needed so the 2nd was built in 1497. No cathedral architects here, but many boat-builders, so they made the cathedral with wood-shingles. During the last months of the 2nd World War, a bomb fell through the roof, but it didn't explode. The bell tower, it's right across the street from the church! read more

What a spectacular horseshoe harbor. The buildings lining the port are of varied colors in the Norman style snuggled up against one another w their front bistro styled resturants and boats moored to the piers. The weekends are buzzing with sidewalk markets, street vendors and local produce. Nicer shops of local artists, jewelry, knives, Calvados, sneezes & salami, pottery, and linens all add to the famous charm of this quint antique seaside village. read more

The market day on Saturday was overwhelming. Fresh seafood, bread, fresh cheese and all of the cider you have ever seen in your life. The port is scenic for a working port and the sunset is just beautiful over the water. We loved our stay here and would definitely return if we had the choice. read more
