Honfleur has been painted many times by artists including Claude Monet. With it's beautiful, picturesque port and 'Dutch' like houses, it is an artists dream.
On August 25th, 1944, Honfleur was liberated by the British, Belgian and Canadian army without any battle.
Eglise Saint-Leonard (St. Leonard Church in Honfleur) was built on the ruins of a previous church in the 17th century.
Are these tourists lost? No way....
Hanging out at the Honfleur Harbour. Sigh.
Honfleur's harbour is considered one of Normandy's prettiest ports.
Normandy's fertile lands have prolific apple orchards, thus a huge cider industry.
A HUGE thank you to the Allied forces that liberated Honfleur.
Cormorant's along the docks. They can weigh as much as 11 lbs with a wing span of up to 39 inches!
Our wee ship...."I'm coming...don't leave"
Looking towards the beaches of Normandy, famous for the Allied D-Day invasion. But that is another trip and blog.....
