Honfleur's Old Port
(above center) still emits a seafaring atmosphere, with its wooden façades
and tall narrow houses topped by slate roofs. |
|
Honfleur's narrow,
cobbled streets are easily explored. Museums, shops, cafés and restaurants
add to the attractions. |
In the 15th
and 16th centuries, it was from the picturesque seaside town Honfleur that
the first voyages left for Canada and the New World. Honfleur is virtually
an outdoor museum, full of half-timbered houses and cobbled streets. In the
19th century, Honfleur attracted a steady stream of artists, among them many
Impressionists who took their inspiration from the town’s picturesque
setting. Honfleur’s native son, Eugène Boudin, an early Impressionist
painter, has a museum named in his honor. |
