hi d2b2 - Honfleur definitely is a swell place - but then to be honest, France has lots of great places, but the harbor is really something special. And yes, I can see the picture in your avatar is from the same area as my #3 in this posting. Thanks for your input!

HONFLEUR is first mentioned in a historical record in 1027 and by the middle of the 12th century it represented a significant transit point for goods from nearby Rouen to England.

Today it is particularly known for its old port, characterized by its houses with slate-covered frontages, painted many times by artists including Gustave Courbet and Claude Monet from the Impressionist movement. Honfleur's Sainte-Catherine church, constructed by shipbuilders, has a bell tower separate from the principal building and is the largest church made completely out of wood in France. Honfleur has great restaurants and is a great starting point for exploring the Pays d'Auge south of the coast (see previous post).

The picture are best seen in download.

This post completes our tour through Brittany and France - thank you for staying with me during this long trip and posting your comments. I hope you have seen some interesting places and discovered a bit of the spirit of these wonderful lands.

In case you are interested the see the entire albums, you can access them at my site (weberwest.weebly.com), click on Chronological tab, see on lines 2015 - May. I suggest you click on the "Short" rather than lengthy "Full" link. I will be very pleased to respond to any question or observations - preferably via private message. - Thank you for staying with me.

PS - While the series relating to this drive is completed, over the next 3 days I will add 3 more posts on GIVERNY, famous for the residence of Claude Monet and his wonderful garden. It is also located in Normandy.
