beautiful fisherman city ,all is the sea, with great painters who once roams the streets including a practically local boy Eugène Boudin. it is to note, it gets about 3,5 millions visitors a year ,second only to MSM in the Normandy region.
you have fishing boats, leisure boating in the basin, seafaring boats, and light passenger cruise terminal.

 I absolutely fell in love with Honfleur the very first time I laid eyes upon this picturesque town. It was like a scene from a painting, with the colourful, mismatched buildings and the boats in the marina. Tres bon!
