Explore Honfleur's picturesque harbor

After parking your car for free at the 'Naturospace', you'll reach the heart of Honfleur in about 10 minutes walking. You'll automatically be drawn to what this town is most known for: the Vieux Bassin or Port of Honfleur. Stroll along the quay with its beautiful colored houses and abundance of cute restaurants and cafés.

Enjoy local crêpes & cider

Although Honfleur offers many great seafood restaurants, we found the humble crêperie La Cidrerie to be one of the most cosy and delicious quick lunch spots in town. Here you can enjoy some traditional Normandy pancakes, both sweet and salty, as well as some of the best locally produced ciders.

Hidden gem: Jardin du Tripot

Finally, make a small detour to the Jardin du Tripot. This public garden is not known by many, but is one of the best hidden secrets of Honfleur. It's a haven of tranquility in the heart of Honfleur's historic center, blending history, culture and a stroll along the water's edge.
