Samuel de Champlain

I'm Canadian, eh?!

So I would naturally keep an eye out for the bust of Samuel de Champlain -- the founder of Québec, Canada -- near the North West corner of the Vieux Bassin. He began his journey right here in the Port of Honfleur... but sadly most tourists don't ever notice him so they had to remount him next to arch (see 3rd photo).

The Park and Seine Promenade

It's not particularly attractive... but if you want a bit of sea air then head north west of the harbour area and take a walk westwards alongside the Seine. You can see Le Havre on the other side and also the Pont De Normandie, one of Europe's most spectacular bridges. There's also a park if you head west that has little statues of French 'heroes'. All okay if you want to get away from the tourist tack of the harbour.

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.
