The channel that leads to Honfleur is a genuine time machine. It takes you from the elegance of the Pont de Normandie to the authentic charm of the Old Harbour. A magical journey. Just behind a bend, the town suddenly appears, nestling amidst its verdant hills. You enter this harbour silently, as you would enter a museum. You honour the phantoms of the explorers that once set sail from this very spot, on their way to America, some five centuries ago. And you berth under the café patios and the painters’ easels. For a stopover from a different era.
