Vieux Bassin by sue_stone
Honfleur is a pretty town and the nicest part in my opinion is the Vieux Bassin and surrounding streets.Vieux Bassin is a small harbour in the heart of the town. This is the place from where once ships sailed forth to discover new lands. These days it is filled with yachts and other fancy looking boats.
Surrounding the harbour is quai Ste-Catherine and quai St-Etienne. These cobbled streets are lined with beautiful and colourful narrow houses, and are home to numerous restaurants which all have tables over-looking the water.
Even if you don't dine at one of those restaurants, Vieux Bassin is a particularly magical place for a stroll in the evening, perhaps with an ice cream or just your camera.
