in the sprint to see the marina,harbor area and eat its wonderful catch at romantics cozy restaurants, we may skip this lovely jewel of a church. Go see it , it is done mostly in wood,the largest in France, and also,done in the shape of a boat , unique in France, a national treasure.
See the website of the city govt of Honfleur in French description of the church Leave a Comment

Take a walk up Cote de Grace and you'll be rewarded with the panoramic view of Honfleur and Pont de Normandie. There's also a chuch which was once used by the royalties. Leave a Comment

When walking from the old harbour towards the "beach" you walk along the water, then take the entrance of the parc. It's a very peacefull parc with lots of shadow and a great spot for a picnic. If travelling with children there is also a small playground in the parc. When you walk out at the other side of the parc, there is the entrance to another parc, le parc des personnalites, very peacefull as well with a little pond with swans, frogs and tortoises. In that parc there are statues of all the important people who lived in Honfleur. When walking out of that parc you will be at the entrance of the "beach". The beach is very calm, I like it was it has a very industrial feel to it because you have a view on le Havre and the big industrial harbour aswell as a view on the pont de Normandie. There are big ships passing by regularly as well. Leave a Comment

bordering the vieux basin, this museum is house in the old church of Saint Etienne built in the 14C and not in use,so was given to house the mariners museum with maquettes and rendering honor to the seamen past of the city.
A very important collection of small scale boats ,engravings, maps, and souvenirs in wood.
quai Saint Etienne, facing inside the vieux basin harbor of pleasure boats , Leave a Comment
