    The old port of Honfleur, also called the old basin, is unique. With its old rigs and tall houses, it is an almost living testimony to the splendor of 17th and 18th century boat trips. It was commissioned by Colbert, Controller General of Finances under the reign of Louis Quatorze.

      The old harbor basin, commissioned by Colbert, is surrounded by beautiful quays. Pleasure boats make it even more picturesque. The sumptuous stone buildings on the Quai Saint-Etienne, with two floors and mansards, contrast with the narrow high houses on the Quai-Catherine, which have up to seven floors. The wooden, slate-covered facades protrude upwards.
      La Lieutenance, opposite the lifting bridge, completes the unique whole. This is what remains of the former residence (17E) of the king's lieutenant, the governor of Honfleur. In the facade on the square, between two watchtowers, is the former Porte de Caen, one of the two medieval gateways to the city. also check out the old boats in front of the building: the Dehel, a sailboat of the pilot cutter type from quistreham, the Sainte-Bernadette, a sloop from Honfleur, and the Roche Bleue, a bautier from Barfleur. The corner of the Quai des Passagers offers a beautiful view of the building, the vieux basin and the outer harbor on the other side. (Michelin).
