Visiting Honfleur
"Honfleur sailors were very numerous in participating in privateer expeditions launched by other major ports. Ship captains would visit various ports to recruit their crews, until they were fully assembled..."
Le Vieux Honfleur
Positioned on the old port, directly across from Quai Sainte-Catherine and the Lieutenance, Le Vieux Honfleur holds the title of the town's oldest restaurant. The old port, a central spot in Honfleur, is an almost mandatory passage for every visitor. Its large, light-flooded terrace offers a magnificent view of the docked boats, making it the dream restaurant on the port of Honfleur.
History of the establishment
