Honfleur has been painted by many artists over the years and once you arrive at the harbor, you immediately understand why. Today there are more British expats than artists in residence, but the charming village feel of this port remains.
There are numerous streets stretching out from the harbor.
All the streets in the heart of the city are cobblestones, so make sure you wear the proper shoes!
If you have a tiny car, you can drive in, but it's a labyrinth.
The biggest wooden church in France is Sainte Catherine's
and yes you can enter and/or attend a service.
Some buildings have the year they were built literally engraved in stone.
City Hall is a much more modern building.
Driving along the coast, Villerville looked like a movie set, and it was!
The fictional town of "Tigreville" in the Jean Gabin and Jean Paul Belmondo film, "A Monkey in Winter", was shot here and numerous posters, pictures, and plaques note that fact.
Even the town church was picturesque.
There are access points down to the coast
and you can stroll above the surf.
This is the view of where the Seine joins the Atlantic.

My favorite view was the path leading south :)
