Honfleur Walking Tour
Honfleur, France
Why Walk Honfleur
Honfleur's Vieux Bassin — the old harbor lined with tall, narrow slate-fronted houses — is one of the most painted scenes in France. Monet, Boudin, and other Impressionists worked here, drawn by the quality of light where the Seine meets the sea. The town preserves its maritime character with wooden shipbuilding heritage and one of the largest timber-built churches in France.
