Steeped in history, Honfleur is part of the Calvados department in Northwestern France. From its first records in 1027 to the occupation by the English from 1357 to 1450, and its illustrious role in goods transit during the 12th century, Honfleur has a fascinating backstory. Notably, it was fortified by Charles V to protect the Seine's estuary during the Hundred Years War, and later thrived on trade with Canada, the West Indies, the African coasts, and the Azores in the 17th and 18th centuries.

The town's greatest acclaim lies in its old port and distinctive houses dappled with slate tiles, captured on canvas by such esteemed painters as Courbet, Boudin, Monet, and Jongkind. The soul of the town is also mirrored in its architectural gem, the Sainte-Catherine church - the largest wooden church in France, with a separate bell tower that is a must-visit for every traveller.
