There are also some lovely artists studios and galleries here.
If you?ve got time, be sure to visit the Eug?ne Boudin Museum, which houses some collections of paintings including work by Boudin, the Marine Museum, which has some interesting exhibits, Normandy Culture & Ethnography Museum and the Satie Museum (which looks at the work of composer Erik Satie, who was also born in Honfleur).

The Saturday market is well worth a visit as it sells fresh local produce. It starts early morning and finishes at 1pm. Here, you will be able to stock up on all your items needed for your self-catering holiday.

Paris is only a two-hour drive away, so might even get the chance to see the country?s capital during your holiday!
If you?re in search of a good beach, then be sure to check out the beautiful and popular beach resorts of Trouville and Deauville. Honfleur isn?t far from either and both towns are well worth a visit.
