Bed and breakfast in Honfleur

The charm of a Calvados seaside resort

Honfleur is a commune in Calvados located near Havre. It has around 7,700 inhabitants and is located in the north of the Auge country, surrounded to the west by Pennedepie and to the east by La Rivière-Saint-Sauveur. Honfleur is also bordered by the English Channel to the north and borders Gonneville-sur-Honfleur to the south. Its distinguished architectural and environmental heritage are its wealth and help to attract holidaymakers. It has been awarded 4 flowers in the towns and villages in bloom competition, so it offers its visitors a variety of green spaces in which to stroll. Honfleur has no particular culinary specialities, but its inhabitants have a strong sense of belonging to their region and love to prepare the best Norman recipes! Let yourself be tempted during your stay by tasty cheeses such as livrarot and pont-l'évêque. For dessert, try tergoule, a soft rice pudding flavoured with cinnamon.
