Normandy coast: Deauville - Honfleur
Deauville is one of the seaside pearls of the Lower Normandy coast. World famous, we owe this social resort to the Duke of Morny who, seduced by this site, decided to create a racetrack and above all, to make Deauville the summer meeting place for nobility and celebrities.
Honfleur is a city of art. The city of painters and impressionism. Eugène Boudin made this little marvel famous and Honfleur became the meeting place for many artists.

Discover Honfleur
A historic town spared by the trials of the times, this maritime town has a past which today allows it to be one of the most visited Norman towns.
The reputation of Honfleur is international. It owes it to the many artists who fell under the spell of the old houses, the narrow streets, the small port and the changing colors.
Walking around Honfleur also means taking the time to breathe, appreciate, stop and taste the local gastronomy in small but cozy restaurants.
