Why visit Honfleur during your stay in Normandy?
Honfleur captivates with its unique character. Its old harbor, one of the most photographed in Normandy, is framed by houses with narrow, colorful facades that are reflected in the water. The narrow streets of the Sainte-Catherine district, with their art galleries and artisan shops, invite leisurely strolls with no set itinerary.
The town has long attracted painters and writers, including Eugène Boudin, a native of Honfleur and a precursor of Impressionism. This vibrant artistic heritage gives the town an atmosphere found nowhere else on the Normandy coast. Food lovers will also find plenty to enjoy, from seafood restaurants to refined dining establishments overlooking the harbor.
Plan your trip to Honfleur from Deauville
Honfleur is about 25 minutes from Deauville via the Normandy Bridge, making it the easiest day trip to include in a stay on the Côte Fleurie. Half a day is enough to see the highlights, but the town easily deserves a full day if you want to visit the Eugène Boudin Museum, stroll through the market, or relax on a terrace overlooking the harbor.
We recommend parking on the outskirts of the town center and walking to the old harbor. During peak season, arriving in the morning will allow you to enjoy the narrow streets before the afternoon crowds arrive.
Our team is available to guide you to the best places and help you organize your day according to your wishes.

Plan your stay in Normandy from Deauville
Honfleur fits perfectly into a Normandy getaway designed as a journey of discovery. By making Deauville your base, you can easily access other must-see destinations in the region: the cliffs of Étretat, the D-Day landing beaches, the medieval city of Bayeux , or Mont-Saint-Michel for a day trip. It's the ideal way to create a tailor-made holiday, combining heritage, nature, and Norman cuisine.
