ラ・リヴィエール＝サン＝ソーヴルのおすすめツーリングルート

A port for numerous boats and a home port for many artists, the port of Honfleur is synonymous with Impressionism. It is also a place steeped in history, local produce, and traditions. Cyclists, stop and explore the surrounding area.

There's a bike path, of course. But I strongly advise against using it, it's so dangerous!!! Narrow path, not separated from the roadway by cars. They and trucks don't slow down and constantly brush past you. Not to mention the wind and the blast from passing trucks that almost knock you over, even on foot! Because yes, I got off my bike to walk (the sidewalk was well separated from the rest of the road this time) after thinking I was going to die several times in less than a minute. So, avoid it by bike, but you can use it by getting off your bike and using the pedestrian crossing. Perhaps feasible on days or times when there's less traffic?

Part of the old harbor with many restaurants, cafes, and bars. The classic postcard motif.

Honfleur is a very beautiful Norman town with beautiful houses, harbors, small alleys, and many fish restaurants. It's worth spending an extra day here.

Nice walk

As soon as you arrive in the town, you will be greeted by the sight of picturesque houses with slate-covered facades stretching to the sky. The old boats rocking peacefully in the harbor tell of times gone by and the once bustling activity of this historic port city. A particular highlight is the old basin, commissioned by Colbert in the 17th century, which reflects the splendor of boat trips of that time. While you are here, be sure to take a detour to the quays, where the tall houses on Quai-Catherine form a fascinating contrast to the magnificent stone buildings on Quai Saint-Etienne. After your tour, you can end the evening comfortably in one of the numerous restaurants with a typical fish menu. The harbor offers a unique sight, especially in the evening, when the city lights dance on the water. Honfleur is a place that has managed to retain its authentic charm without degenerating into a mere tourist attraction.
