Lieutenance d'Honfleur, Historic royal residence in Honfleur, France

The Lieutenance features two round towers and stands at the entrance of the old harbor, representing the last remaining part of the city fortifications.

Built in the 14th century under King Charles V, the structure served as accommodation for the king's lieutenant until the French Revolution in 1789.

The building houses an interpretation center dedicated to architecture and maritime heritage, with three exhibition rooms exploring the history of Honfleur.

The Lieutenance offers guided tours lasting one hour, with departures every 15 minutes, and admission costs 6 euros for adults and 4.50 euros for reduced rates.

The structure includes an original stone base from medieval fortifications and 17th-century brick additions, with a restored clock on its facade.
