    No historic boats or shrimp boat to be seen in 2021.

      Apart from these large impressive boats, the historic port also retains the Sainte-Bernadette cutter, the last shrimp boat still in sailing condition, belonging to the 1901 law association, La Chaloupe d'Honfleur. It has been classified as an historic monument since October 18, 1992. The François Monique shell sloop, built in 1935 and restored by the Petit Foc association of Deauville-Trouville.
      Jacques Cartier founded Canada in 1534 and gave it to France. He adopts the name Canada which means village in Huron. The King of France, Francis 1st, disappointed by the lack of gold or diamonds, decided not to exploit the land. It is only two hundred years later, in the 17th century, that Samuel de Champlain received orders to settle the vast territory. Having left Honfleur, he founded Quebec. The orders of Louis XIV made the first settlements true Norman colonies. More than 4,000 peasants settled and planted the land. Fishing, hunting and the fur trade flourished. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_of_Honfleur
