Short Break Destinations in Normandy
- Honfleur
Also along the Flowered coast, Honfleur may now lack a beach due to the silting up of the River Seine's estuary, but it is nonetheless a truly delightful harbour town that has attracted artists ever since the early 19th century. Among those drawn here by the fabulous light and scenery were such celebrated names as Boudin, Monet, Renoir and Cézanne.
These days painters are still to be regularly seen on the charming quayside busy capturing scenes and experiences that in the main have changed very little for over 100 years.
Things to do
It is no coincidence that there are 15 art galleries in the town. Yachtsmen also come here in large numbers, mainly to enjoy the restaurants, cafes, shops and galleries, plus an atmosphere that is genuine old world France.
One final interesting note: Honfleur boasts France's only wooden church. St Catherine, which was built in the 15th and 16th centuries during the hundred years war.
