Tourism & Recreation
Normandy
From Le Treport to Mont-Saint-Michel, the Norman coast offers an astonishing variety of landscapes. The sea has blessed this region with particularly pleasant weather -- mild in the winter, rarely too hot in the summer -- making its 600 km of shore a favorite vacation destination.
We are just a 20-minute ride from Deauville; home to the American Film Festival in September and the most beautiful beaches in Normandy. You are also less than an hour’s drive from Etretat, Rouen or Caen, driving through some of the loveliest scenery of the Pays d'Auge and the Cote Fleurie. A little further along the coast, the World War II landing beaches make for an excellent day trip and don’t forget Bayeaux and its famous Tapestry museum!
And Honfleur itself has plenty to offer. At once a fishing harbor, commercial port, and marina, it has carefully preserved its picturesque streets and regional architecture, while winning a coveted "Four Flowers" rating for it lush public landscaping. Home to many excellent restaurants, We are happy to assist you with reservations and or reconfirming your tables upon your arrival.
