Honfleur – Lovely French Town Where The Seine River Meets The English Channel

Honfleur is a lovely-looking city in the department of Calvados, in northern France’s Normandy region.

Founded by Vikings in the 800s, Honfleur has served for centuries as a port for trade and travel.

The town is located on the estuary where the Seine river meets the English Channel.

The Church of St. Catherine (see You Tube video), dates from the second half of the 15th century, replaced an older stone church which was destroyed during the Hundred Years’ War.

The Vieux-Bassin (old harbour), lined with 16th- to 18th-century townhouses, has been a subject for artists including Claude Monet and native son Eugène Boudin.

Nearby is 15th-century St. Catherine’s Church, a vaulted timber structure erected by shipbuilders.
