My favorite painter, Eugène Boudin (1824-1898), was born in this quaint fishing town.  Boudin is the father of impressionist painting and his seascapes depict the shores all along the Côte Fleurie.

Honfleur is a lovely place to visit any time of year.  Click here to see Deauville and Honfleur in December.

The best way to Honfleur is along the coastal road.  After the deathly difficult uphill ride along the Corniche of Trouville the road varies pleasantly in up-hills and down-hills, none too excruciating nor endless. 

The way to go:

	Cross the bridge (Pont des Belges) over the Digue into Trouville.  Do not follow the signs to Honfleur you first come across!  Instead ride along the main road along the quay until you almost get to the Casino.  Just at the Monoprix supermarket there is a sign "Honfleur par la Corniche".  This is the most beautiful way to go.
	Keep looking to your left at the sea.  The view is amazing.
	Once on top you will find yourself on the D513.  This will take you straight all the way to Honfleur.  Do not turn off onto any other road.  Trust me.  Ignore the sign about half way there that says "Honfleur, Cotes de Graces".
	Once there, enjoy the city before turning around and following the same route back to Deauville.

You can extend this great ride by going a bit further and crossing the Pont de Normandy.  Click here for the route to follow out of Honfleur in the direction of this impressive feat of engineering.
