What to do and see in Honfleur, Normandy: The Best Things to do
Honfleur, a harbor in Normandy, was popular with Impressionist painters like Monet and Boudin. They found its changing light and picturesque quays inspiring—and even today, if you return to the same spot every day to take a photo, you'll find no two are the same. On Saturday, visit the town's lively market and stock up on local cheese.

Right in the heart of town in a beautiful square. Separate bell tower and amazing structures made from wood by original ship builders. Sitting inside you feel as if you are in an old ship.

In a rush of blood we decided to walk up the hill to see this view. The pathway is not signposted but can be found off the Rue Charriere du Puits. It is a narrow winding path that feels nearly vertical in parts. We walked up about 10:00 in the morning and we were the only people there. The view of the Pont de Normandie is excellent. There is no shade or shelter so you may need to select the right day. After taking in the view it's possible to have a pleasant five minute stroll down a quiet country road to the Notre Dame de Grace church. From here there is an easy walk downhill on a road back into town.

Completed in 1995, this massive bridge, which crosses the Seine, measures over 2,800 feet at its longest section and 1.3 miles in total, a world-record for its type when it was built.

Excellent structure a great way to cross the Seine, the toll fee is 5.20 euros and the queues can be long on the run up to it, you see people walking over it and cyclists nit sure I would be that brave
6. Satie House and Museum (Maisons Satie)

I sort of expected the museum to reflect the personality of Eric Satie and it did. It is an unusual experience and in its way quite refreshing as it is slightly off beat and all the better for that. You learn quite a bit about the man and his music as well as hearing plenty of it as you go around the museum. Not sure why but I was completely captivated by the automatic piano playing a series of pieces by him.

Unexpectedly fun and entertaining. The various busts and statues were interesting and we learned a bit. Walk slowly to visit each bust and enjoy the flowers and other garden plantings.
