As soon as you arrive in the town, you will be greeted by the sight of picturesque houses with slate-covered facades stretching to the sky. The old boats rocking peacefully in the harbor tell of times gone by and the once bustling activity of this historic port city. A particular highlight is the old basin, commissioned by Colbert in the 17th century, which reflects the splendor of boat trips of that time. While you are here, be sure to take a detour to the quays, where the tall houses on Quai-Catherine form a fascinating contrast to the magnificent stone buildings on Quai Saint-Etienne. After your tour, you can end the evening comfortably in one of the numerous restaurants with a typical fish menu. The harbor offers a unique sight, especially in the evening, when the city lights dance on the water. Honfleur is a place that has managed to retain its authentic charm without degenerating into a mere tourist attraction.
