Honfleur Normandy

The beauty of the countryside and the friendly locals, as well as, the richness of the butter and cream that come from Normandy gave a warmth that is uncompared to any place I have visited.

This quaint area of France has every thing to offer from the simplest in life to its very rich and pampered resorts. We stayed at Ferme Saint Simeon, a Relais & Chateaux, which is a 5 star resort with excellent attention to detail and its guests. From our very charming and lavish country French decorated room we could watch the tide go in and out, amazed at how fast it happened.

The Harbor, the Old Dock and Sainte Catherine's Church... are among the famous places that you can see in Honfleur. On Saturdays the street market is the center of life from early morning to 1pm.

Plan at least 2 to 4 days to enjoy the quaint town as well as the countryside and – don’t forget to check out the Calvados! You will not find it unfiltered anywhere else outside of Normandy.
