Honfleur Tourist Office

Friendly personnel, great museums and walks. The musee Boudin et Satie are excellent, surprising and enriching. A visit to the Lieutenance is also a must- a very modern, interractive and surprising museum in the heart of Honfleur, where one can learn a lot about the history, the geography and the rich culture and civilisation of this special place. The personnel was particularly welcoming, allowing me to come back the next day to spend more time learning and taking in the lovely views from the terrace. The other smaller museums are also quaint, informative, and definitely worth a visit. The churches offer a wonderful insight into the various neighbourhoods of the town. And, of course, a stroll through the little streets with so much character + lots of delicious local specialities will surely charm every visitor. The chocolates, the biscuits, the calvados, the cider, the sea food, the cheese...take your pick! A shop with hand made 'sabots' was my personal favourite!! The 'personalities parc' leading to the beach was also a beautiful surprise. The views at sunset were particularly memorable. Last but not least, I thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour organized by the tourist office, with Baptiste, a young student who shared many interesting facts, annecdotes and secrets about the town's history, architecture, development and traditions. All in all, a wonderful and enriching visit and a delightful townley that fully deserves its great reputation.
