Honfleur, a port of call for the old sailing ships, is the gateway to the Pays d'Auge and the Côte Fleurie. The rich history of this unique site is still in evidence today in the 15th century church, the 15th and 17th century manor house, the 17th century salt warehouses, the picturesque 17th century washing place, which is still in use, and many other wonders.

During your stay, you can admire St Catherine's church, the largest in France built in wood by naval carpenters. You will also be charmed by the unique atmosphere of the "Vieux Bassin", surrounded by the impossibly narrow 17th century houses.

The surrounding areas are ideal for walking. You can discover charming villages, such as Ablon, Cricqueboeuf and Equemauville, that reflect rural living which has managed to retain its authenticity.
