What to see
The Vieux Bassin, the old harbour surrounded by narrow, tall houses, is the heart of Honfleur and a favourite of painters. Nearby, Sainte-Catherine is the largest wooden church in France, built by shipwrights after the Hundred Years' War, with a separate bell tower.
Honfleur was the birthplace of Eugène Boudin, a mentor of Monet; the Eugène Boudin Museum shows his work and that of other painters of the Normandy coast.
Getting there
There is no station in Honfleur. Buses connect it with Le Havre across the Pont de Normandie and with Trouville-Deauville. By car it is about 2.5 hours from Paris. Deauville and Étretat are nearby.
