Colorful Reflections of a Picturesque Town
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.

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.

We loved Honfleur.
We loved Honfleur. We did not expect it to be so quaint and beautiful. Once we got our bearings it was easy to get around, but first it was a little confusing.
Love the restaurants along the harbor, loved the B+B where we stayed.

We loved the room and the location.
We loved the room and the location. Our host was charming as well as the town. We were totally smitten. It is very easy to get around Honfleur by foot. So many delightful streets to explore. Even the quirky Satie museum was worth a look. We will definitely try to go back and stay longer.
“The service was 5 star quality and very accommodating. We wanted to stay an additional night, but it meant changing rooms. The staff ensured our luggage was moved from the one room to the other. They allowed us to use the breakfast area to eat a "picnic" lunch we brought back to the hotel. The rooms were very nice and spacious with a view of the harbor. This was our best hotel experience during our three week trek across France!”
“Very nice B&B. Audrey was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was very good with fresh breads and croissants, and home made jams. Short walk to the old part of town made it very convenient, yet out of the most touristy area. I would have no problem recommending this if you are staying in Honfleur.”
“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.”
“This hotel far exceeded my expectations. I booked based on location and good reviews but everything was exceptional. We forgot to ask the front desk man his name but he was wonderfully accomodating and very helpful with local questions and suggestions. Our lovely room was very peaceful and opened onto a beautiful patio through magnificent old French doors. The bathroom was modern and beautifully fitted. Several signs in town and a GPS led us to this perfect location to enjoy Honfleur”
