Located at the mouth of the Seine River, the picturesque coastal town Honfleur is a colorful paradise in Lower Normandy. This charming destination has been the inspiration for many famous painters, like Claude Monet and Eugène Boudin.
Surrounded by gorgeous traditional buildings and timber-framed houses, the beautiful Norman port is home to small fishing and sailing boats. Wander around the cobblestone Rue de la Ville and visit the magnificent Honfleur market.
Known as the birthplace of Impressionism, the picture-perfect town of Honfleur has a scenic lighthouse, depicted in one of Georges Seurat's paintings. Discover the large wooden Sainte Catherine church with its stunning bell tower, as well as the lovely Church of Saint-Léonard and be amazed by their inspiring architecture.
The Vieux Bassin has elegant stone and wood houses, while the 18th-century building of Lieutenancy was the residence of the Honfleur Governor. Like a kaleidoscope of color, Côte de Grâce hill offers stunning views of the harbor and Seine Valley.
The Pont de Normandy is a modern bridge connecting the city of Le Havre with the town of Honfleur, and Le Havre Octeville Airport is close to Le Havre. Booking.com will help you find a hotel, apartment or motel in Honfleur.

Very pretty village and small harbor.
Very pretty village and small harbor. I thought Cancale was a little more genuine and restaurants generally better, at least for seafood. Walking around the village was easy, parking and driving challenging. Touristy place, so the rhythm of the town is not typical of a French village. Weekends tend to get lots of Paris visitors, so weekdays are less crowded. Most sites can be seen in a few hours. Some entrance fees such as the wooden church tower appear to be extravagant. Dinner sitting by the harbor was charming.

A beautiful scenic town that can be seen by walking.
A beautiful scenic town that can be seen by walking. A base to stay if planning to go around the coast of Normandy like Etretat,Fecamp.. 2 towns that are beautiful for their white cliffs.Restaurants are great avoid the one along the basin.always go for the entre+plat+dessert on the menu you get more for your money.

It's a lovely fishing village with a wonderful harbor...
It's a lovely fishing village with a wonderful harbor full of restaurants and shops, and the colorful flowers everywhere add so much to the beauty of the area. No car is necessary, since the town is very walkable.

Little marina town.
Little marina town. Lots of restaurants and shops. Feels like you've gone back in time. Centrally located to go see the sites in Normandy. So much history. Loved it. Wished we would have stayed longer.

Honfleur is a lovely way to begin a trip though Normandy.
Honfleur is a lovely way to begin a trip though Normandy. It's compact and the bay is charming. We had a great dinner at Au Vieux Honfleur. It's one of the few restaurants on the east side of the bay, versus the many on the west side.
We went with our family and were delighted with Les Bluets, a motel just as you are coming into town. It was clean, quiet and friendly and had a wonderful breakfast.

Charming harbor side historical village.
Charming harbor side historical village...but it was like Disneyland when we visited in June on a weekend. Sooo crowded. Every outdoor table was taken, had to swerve to not hit people or trip over cobblestones and fall into water.
Very touristy...all the usual tacky shops selling trinkets. But the ice cream was good (many shops) and buckets of steamed moules (mussels) made the best meal, when you get a table. If you do not like cigarette smoke, do not attempt to eat outside. The smoke ruined many of our meals. Our decision to move indoors solved that plus gave us a nice table much quicker. Just overlook the crowds and admire the brilliant architecture, stone and brick-work and cobblestones and beautiful colors of reflections in the water. Honfleur is worth it....Go! But off-season would provide more comfort.
“Lecole is one the loveliest b-n-b's/hotels i have ever stayed in. Absolutely beautifully restored/decorated, large rooms with large comfortable beds, beautiful and unique spaces for sitting. Breakfast was amazing, staff available and very attentive. Great location, charm-filled, steps away from center of Honfleur.”
“Very friendly staff.

Easy system with code instead of keys.
Shower gel provided.
Wifi functioned ok most of the time. ”
“Charming typically French property. Lovely fresh home made breakfast served in your room. Very convenient for Honfleur town and restaurants. Would definitely stay again.”
“We loved our three-person room: it had a harbor view, a double bed in the main room and then down a very short hall, a little room with a twin bed, allowing our daughter to have a little private space. The bathroom was updated and very nice. The hotel was in a perfect location in town, too.”
“We were on our way to Omaha Beach and wanted to spend 2 nights in Honfleur. Parking was the main reason we stayed at this hotel. The location was great and very close to the harbor. The rooms could certainly use some updates but it was okay for a couple of nights.”
