The Vieux Bassin is Honfleur’s top attraction, with colorful, half-timbered buildings and terrace cafés set around a picturesque harbor. Other must-see sights include the 15th-century St. Catherine’s Church (Eglise Sainte-Catherine), the medieval fortifications of La Lieutenance, the landmark Normandy Bridge, and museums such as the Maisons Satie and the Eugène Boudin Museum.

Parisians flock to Honfleur and the Normandy coast in summer; to avoid the crowds and peak season prices, visit in spring instead. There are plenty of sunny days from April through June, it’s warm enough to get on the water, and spring flowers make the harborside even more inviting.

Despite its small size, Honfleur has several interesting museums. Discover the town’s art heritage at the Eugène Boudin Museum, which showcases impressionist art; visit the Maisons Satie, dedicated to composer Erik Satie; learn about Honfleur’s maritime heritage at the Musée de la Marine; then visit the Musée du Vieux Honfleur ethnology museum.

Honfleur is a great place to sample typical Normandy cuisine. Sample delicious fresh seafood like scallops, mussels, and oysters, and tuck into creamy Camembert and Neufchâtel cheeses. Normandy is also famous for its apples, so make sure to try the apple tart, local ciders, and traditional Calvados (apple brandy).
