Description
Fishing trawlers, pleasure craft, restaurants and tourists populate historic Honfleur, in Normandy, France. Some of the Seine river cruise boats stop here.
This little maritime city has escaped the ravages of time and preserves traces of a rich historical past, making it one of the most visited towns in France, with its picturesque backstreets and old houses. Its international renown is partly due to the authenticity of its narrow paved streets and timber-framed house-fronts, its little shops, charming hotels and typical restaurants, and also to the variety of its monuments and the wealth of its cultural heritage.
Simultaneously fishing harbor, marina and commercial port, Honfleur has succeeded in making the most of its rich historical and artistic heritage.
Honfleur, a town of painters and Impressionism, possesses something that makes it irresistible. The changing light on the Seine estuary inspired Courbet, Monet, Boudin and many others. Today dozens of galleries and artists' studios continue to display a wide choice of classical and modern paintings.
