Honfleur, Maritime commune in Normandy, France

The port town features traditional slate-covered houses along its harbor, with narrow streets leading to a waterfront filled with fishing boats and yachts.

The port of Honfleur served as the departure point for Samuel de Champlain in 1608, who established Quebec City during his expedition to North America.

The wooden Church of Saint Catherine, constructed by shipbuilders in the 15th century, demonstrates naval architecture with its structure resembling an overturned ship hull.

The tourist office located near the old harbor provides maps, guided tour bookings, and information about local maritime museums and art galleries.

The separate bell tower of Saint Catherine's Church stands independently in the market square due to medieval fire prevention construction methods.
