The city
What to expect from Honfleur.
Small port on the estuary of the Seine, Honfleur is centered around the Vieux Bassin, the old dock of tall narrow houses that inspired Boudin and Monet. It has the igreja de Santa Catarina, built of wood by ship carpenters, the Musée Eugène-Boudin and the Maisons Satie, the composer's birthplace. On the other side of the Pont de Normandie are the cliffs of Étretat.

Musée Eugène-Boudin
Art museum founded in 1868 by Eugène Boudin and Alexandre Dubourg, with paintings by artists who worked on the estuary of the Seine, from Boudin and Monet to Dufy.

Maisons Satie
Houses where the composer Erik Satie was born in 1866, transformed into a route with music, scenography and humor, very much in the artist's style.
