2025 Honfleur Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

Honfleur is a port town in France! This is a place where trade with England was active. The buildings are lined with historic wooden architecture, and the colorful colors give it a very stylish and cute look 😳❤ As it is a port town, salt and salted caramel are famous 🍭🍬 This area is also home to the birthplace of musician Erik Satie 😊 Speaking of Satie, "Gymnopedie" and "Je teux veux" are famous! There are also museums and churches, and to be honest, I couldn't see everything in one day 🥺 I think it's better to stay overnight 😅 If you have the opportunity, please visit and see the sights ✨ #FranceTrip #Honfleur #ErikSatie

The hotel is 5 mins by walk from the bus terminal, which makes it extremely convenient. It's another 5 mins from the old town. Breakfast is included in the room rate and is basic but quite adequate. The rooms facing the back are especially quiet and relaxing which makes for a good stay. The rooms are extremely modern but very adequate. Finally the staff are extremely lovely and friendly. So overall a great overall choice; convenient and comfortable. #hotel #explore #france #honfleur

Honfleur - France: A couple hours drive from Paris. This is a lovely town with old style building. We can take a walk around the city and enjoy nice Seafood meals there during the day. There are a lot of restaurants located nearby the pier. There is also an old church located up on the hill which take half an hour walk only. 🛥🛥🛥

Avoid the crowds and explore the secrets of France. From natural wonders to cultural treasures, each place hides a unique French romance. 🖼Painters Valley, Creuse (New Aquitaine) - Features: The green valley was once a source of inspiration for Impressionist painters such as Monet. Deer are often seen drinking water in the early morning. Hiking or cycling in the valley is like being in a moving oil painting. - Transportation: It is recommended to drive yourself, which takes about 5 hours from Paris; or take the train to Limoges and then rent a car. - Best time: Spring and autumn (April-June, September-October), when the temperature is pleasant and the vegetation is lush. 🌊Etretat Trunk Coast (Normandy) - Features: The chalk cliffs are carved into an "elephant trunk on the sea" by the waves, a fantastic landscape described by Maupassant. The cliffs are perfect for hiking and picnicking to watch the sunset. - Tips: - Transportation: Take the train from Paris Saint-Lazare Station to Le Havre (2.5 hours), then take bus No. 509 directly to the city (1 hour). - How to play: Climb up the stairs from the beach to the top of Porte d’Amont cliff and overlook the magnificent panoramic view of the three Elephant Trunk Rocks and the coastline. - Surroundings: You can combine it with a day trip to Honfleur to experience the Normandy fishing port style. 🕌Postman Cheval's ideal palace (Hauterives, Drôme) - Features: The mixed-style castle was built by the postman using stones he picked up over the past 33 years. It incorporates elements of mosques and Indian temples. The words "How far can a stone with a wish go" are engraved at the entrance to convey the persistence of ordinary people. - Opening hours: 9:30-18:30 from April to June, extended to 19:00 from July to August, closed on December 25 and some dates in January. - Transportation: It takes about 1.5 hours to drive from Lyon, or take a train to Valence and then take a taxi (20 minutes). 🗻Auvergne volcanic lava caves (Central Plateau) - Features: Natural caves formed by cooling volcanoes, stalactites and underground rivers interweave, and the "Maids' Laundry Cave" in Louyat is particularly magical. - Transportation: It takes about 1 hour to drive from Clermont-Ferrand. Some caves require reservation for guided tours. - Equipment: The temperature inside the cave is low, so it is recommended to wear a windproof jacket and non-slip shoes. - Surroundings: Hike the crater trail and overlook the green valley and volcanic lake. These niche attractions connect the natural and cultural context of France. It is recommended to reserve 10-15 days for in-depth exploration. Renting a car and driving yourself is more flexible. Avoid the peak season of July and August and choose to travel in June or September to enjoy the pleasant climate and avoid the crowds.

A day trip full of emotion near Paris! Let's leave early in the morning and start at Giverny, where the Impressionist painter Monet's garden is located. The garden in full bloom and Monet's house look like a scene from a painting🌸 You'll understand why Monet liked it! Next is Honfleur! You'll regret not missing the colorful port town scenery and emotional alley walk⛵️ Finally, when you arrive at Mont Saint-Michel, you'll see the wide-open mudflats and the magnificent monastery🏰 If you time it right for sunset, you'll be greeted by a magnificent view🌅 It's a full trip that lets you see three cities in one day! #EuropeGuide #TravelPlan #OverseasTravel #EuropeTravel #MontSaintMichel

Honfleur is a cute port town in Normandy. This beautiful town has attracted many artists. Walking around the town, you feel like you've returned to the Middle Ages, with its half-timbered houses typical of Normandy and buildings with facades covered in deep blue flagstones. I was particularly impressed by Saint Catherine Church (4th photo). It is the largest wooden church in France. It was actually destroyed by the British army during the Hundred Years' War. The church was made of stone at that time. After that, due to financial issues, they were unable to build it with stone, and when they thought about how to rebuild the church, they thought that there were many forests around and there was plenty of wood! When they went inside, they felt a sense of relief that only wood can give. Honfleur is a very rustic town. I want to go back again. #OverseasTravelRecord #France

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck The Caramels de Normandie shop in Honfleur that we visited is one of the shops that focuses on selling only Caramel. It tempts sweet lovers to stop by from the moment they walk past. ➡️ Caramel Candy – In addition to the classic Salted Butter Caramel flavor, there are also flavored ones with different added flavors. Many of the flavors sound strange and creative, such as Poppy Seed, Blueberry, Apple, Hazelnut, Vanilla...and many more. ➡️ Fudges – They come in a variety of flavors, just like the Caramel Candy. They are put in a basin so you can choose and put them in a bag and pay. Overall, all the flavors are very sweet, just like Fudge. The texture is quite smooth. ➡️ Chocolates In addition to the sweets, the shop also sells Caramel Sauce in glass bottles. If you want to make dessert or eat it with ice cream, it's a good idea. ✅ Location The shop is on Rue Des Logettes, opposite St. Catherine's Church, the largest wooden church in France, built in the late 15th century. For those who come to visit the church, this shop is convenient and worth a visit. Address: 27 Rue des Logettes, 14600 Honfleur, France #TravelEurope #TravelFrance

#GetDiscountWithoutLuck Le Marin is located opposite Musee de la Marine. If you walk from La Lieutenance Fort, it will be on the right side of the pier. The shop is in a narrow high-rise building with both indoor and outdoor seating, which is perfect for enjoying the view. In the morning, the shop opens as a café, serving coffee and simple breakfast sets. From noon to evening, it is a full-fledged restaurant with a bar where you can sit and drink until late at night. This time, we came for breakfast. ➡️ Croque-Monsieur – Freshly baked, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The bread on the outside is topped with grilled cheese. When you cut it open, you will see warm, melted cheese and a large piece of ham inside. It is not a complicated menu, but when you use good ingredients and make it fresh, it is really great. ➡️ Orange Juice – Freshly squeezed orange juice with a sour taste but it is also refreshing. ➡️ Hot Coffee – Good strong aroma, not sour or astringent. #TravelEurope #TravelFrance

#10월여행지원금이벤트 A beautiful port city in the Normandy region. It was a little gloomy because the weather was cloudy, but the colorful buildings lined up along the port are still etched in my memory. I haven't been to the Netherlands, but I thought it would be like this, so I felt like I was traveling to another country from France.

#October travel support event The largest wooden cathedral in France is located in a region called Honpreur in Normandy. It is a cathedral that travelers to Mont Saint-Michel must take a picture of at least once. It is said to have been built in the 15th century, so it is almost 600 years old, but it is surprising that it is so well preserved.

The second city of the Mont Saint-Michel tour! Honfleur🛥️🛥️ The old town still remains, and the streets are filled with cute scenery and a fantastic sea view! It was one of the cities I remember🩵🩵 I was given plenty of free time, so I walked around leisurely. Honfleur itself was cute, so it was really nice to walk around! I heard that milk jam is famous, so I got one too! If you like jam, I recommend buying it:) And the exterior was cute, so I was drawn in, and the interior was also very cute💛💛 If you like cute European souvenirs, I recommend you go!

#EuropeTravel This region is famous for its beautiful beaches and white cliffs overlooking the sea, providing a quiet and refreshing atmosphere during your visit. I wandered through small towns like Honfleur and Deauville, admiring the cobblestone streets and traditional buildings that exude the charm of the French countryside. 🏘️🌊 In addition to its natural beauty, Normandy has a significant history dating back to World War II, where I visited famous sites like Omaha Beach and the Memorial Cemetery. It was a time to reflect on the past with deep respect for the lives sacrificed for history and freedom. 🏖️🎖️ I enjoyed Normandy's famous cuisine, including crepes and delicious local cheeses, and the beachside restaurant added a special touch to every meal. 🍽️🧀 Normandy is a perfect travel destination that combines history, natural beauty, and tranquility, so I highly recommend visiting.

Due to a missed flight and delay in arrival. I had to miss one night of my stay in Honfleur as I was only going to arrive the next day. And in that one day, I managed to get a good taste of what Honfleur can offer. Clearly now from experience, if i'm to return (most likely). I might even stay longer than 2 nights. While most of my time and activity was around the Vieux Bassin, the gorgeous old harbour. Do not mistake that to be the only thing Honfleur has to offer. It's full of heritage and centuries old townhouses, churches and historical structures including the likes of Normandy bridge, Saint Catherine's church, Notre dame de Grace and much more. It's a place with all the usual comforts that tourists seek such as vibrant night life, cuisine and local culture without the crowds. This gem is definitely on my list of places to go back to. Do give it a try if you're in Normandy. #myhiddengems #honfleur #summerdestinations #normandy #cherryblossom2024 #france #100waysoftravel #europe

Honfleur, located at the mouth of the Seine, is, in my opinion, the most distinctive port in Normandy. Feature 1: Black rock buildings on both sides of the old anchorage Feature 2: The wooden Eglise Saint-Catherine Both are rare in France, no wonder it became a favorite destination for Impressionist painters. #FranceGood Places

📍Sainte Catherine Cathedral Bell Tower, Honfleur 🎫Admission: 2 euros ⚠️Cash only The bell tower is opposite the Catherine Cathedral. A set with the 15th century oak-made Sainte Catherine Cathedral😝 💬It was built as a twin with the Catherine Cathedral, but it is said that it was built a little further apart so that if one was damaged by lightning, the other could be preserved. There is a public restroom on the right side of the first floor of this building. (A precious place for tourists🤭) #EuropeanTravel

A resort town-like atmosphere There are outdoor cafes and restaurants lined up around the port “During the famous Hundred Years’ War, France failed to protect this territory. It was British territory in 1357 and 1419~1450. Afterwards, it prospered to the point of developing into one of the five major ports for the French slave trade.” #SummerTravel

📍Honfleur Catherine Cathedral Admission: Free 💬First built in the 2nd century, then destroyed, rebuilt, and expanded repeatedly, it was completed in 1887 as it is today. It is probably the oldest wooden cathedral in France. It is said to have been built with oak in the 15th century. 💬The ceiling of the church is like the inside of a ship's hull turned upside down. It is said that the descendants of the Vikings brought ships made in shipyards and placed them on the cathedral roof due to lack of construction technology or materials. They built this beautiful structure without using a saw at all... #EuropeTravel
