Harfleur, Medieval port town in Seine-Maritime, France

The commune of Harfleur sits at the confluence of the Seine and Lézarde rivers, surrounded by stone fortifications from the Middle Ages.

The town served as northwestern France's main seaport from the 9th to 15th centuries before declining due to the establishment of Le Havre.

The Church of Saint-Martin, constructed in the 14th century, displays Gothic architecture with a bell tower reaching 83 meters high.

The municipality offers administrative services at the 17th-century town hall, which opens Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

Shakespeare mentioned Harfleur in his play Henry V, referencing the 1415 siege when English forces captured the strategic Norman port.
