Honfluer

Here’s a quick-hit guide to soaking up Honfleur, the absolute gem of Normandy 🌊🕰️! If you crave those storybook cobblestone streets and ridiculously scenic harbor views, this is your spot. Plus, it’s a perfect pit stop driving between Deauville and Trouville.

Must-See Places in Honfleur:
- Vieux Bassin (Old Harbor): The heart of Honfleur, lined with tall slate houses and artsy cafes. Stroll, snap pics, soak up the Norman vibes! (Quai Sainte-Catherine, open 24/7)
- Saint Catherine’s Church: Built by shipbuilders with timber; it’s Europe’s largest wooden church and crazy photogenic. (Rue des Logettes, 10am-6pm)
- Greniers à Sel (Salt Warehouses): Explore the town’s old salt warehouses, now cultural spaces. (Rue de la Ville, hours vary)
- Lieutenancy House: Picture-perfect waterfront spot with history. Just walk by for that classic Honfleur shot. (Quai Sainte-Catherine)

Pro tip: Food here is yummy but kind of pricey, so budget accordingly. Maybe skip the waterfront meal and sneak into a side street bistro for better vibes and less pain for your wallet!

Getting Around: Honfleur is tiny. Park outside the center, then wander everywhere by foot — you’ll want to! If you’re heading onward to Deauville or Trouville, Honfleur is totally doable as a half-day stop on your Normandy road trip.

Travel Tips:
- Be ready for “old Europe” feels — bring comfy shoes for walking those cobbles.
- Some attractions have short afternoon closure, so try mornings for sightseeing.
- Cash is useful for small purchases and coffee stops.
