Nestled between the sea and the light, Honfleur is a destination to be discovered at your own pace. Here, you stroll, you observe, you take your time.

Here is our ideal itinerary for a two-day weekend.

Day 1: The historic heart and its inspirations

Start the day early, when the Vieux Bassin is still calm. The narrow facades, reflections in the water, the first lights… it is at this moment that Honfleur reveals all its poetry.

Not to be missed

Then lose yourself in the cobbled streets: rue de l'Homme de Bois, the little hidden courtyards, the many inspiring art galleries, the Jardin du Tripot, the Saint-Léonard district...

At midday, sit out on the terrace in the sun or choose a more discreet table away from the port.

Afternoon in Honfleur

In the afternoon, take the time to visit Sainte-Catherine church or the Eugène Boudin museum, push open the doors of the antique shops and let yourself be guided without a precise plan. Finally, treat yourself to a gourmet break with a delicious homemade ice cream just a stone's throw from the hotel.

In the evening, Honfleur becomes more subdued. It's the ideal time to have a drink by the fireside, then go out for a romantic dinner for two. Finish the day with a nighttime stroll along the pier leading to the beach.

Day 2: Nature and breathing

After a leisurely breakfast, go out for some fresh air.

Ideas for walks in Honfleur

Some ideas: a stroll to Butin beach via the Jardin des Personnalités, a walk along the heights to admire the estuary and visit the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce chapel, or a bike ride to the Normandy Bridge.

Here, the essential is often in these simple moments.

The best way to make the most of Honfleur is to put your suitcases down in the heart of the town and do everything on foot, letting the days unfold without constraint.

After a day of lanes, sea and light, return to the calm of a house, take the time for a drink, settle into an armchair... and simply enjoy.
