This main defensive port of Normandy in the XV century has transformed into a charming resort town with a picturesque bay, beloved by XIX-century artists. First mentioned in 1027, Honfleur belonged to Norman Duke Richard III. The city changed hands several times during The Hundred Years’ War. In the XV century, French pirates—corsairs—ravaged the English coast from here. In the XVII—XVIII centuries, the city grew wealthy from trade with the American colonies. After the port closed, the city’s economy declined, and Honfleur became a suburb of Le Havre. Today, it is one of the most famous tourist cities in Normandy.

Incredible sights and history - Best tour and guide! The scenery, sites, and history is worth the drive from Paris. This was one of the highlights of our entire trip. We visited in May and it was pretty cold - pack a hoodie, jacket, or sweater.

Changes. Both good and bad. - This tour was altered to Rouen, Étretat, and Honfleur, Amin did a nice job explaining the history and locations behind each visited town. Betrain was a friendly and good driver. Amin seemed a bit new to the tourism business. It appeared he was rechecking schedules in between town visits. Then again he probably needed to since there was a couple who arrived a little more than an hour late. That took away time from everyone else. It caused us to miss some things they planned for us. Was a bit disappointed that the cider and calvados tasting was not included and it was mentioned in the description of the tour. Please ensure if something is not done communicate it to the customers. We do books certain tours for a reason. Fortunately Amin and Betrain worked to find things and locations to compensate for the missed activities. The trip to Rouen, Étretat, and Honfleur were beautiful. The nature was scenic yet peaceful.
