The charm of the Vieux Bassin
At the mouth of the Seine, Honfleur lines its half-timbered houses around the Vieux Bassin, one of the most picturesque old ports in France. Birthplace of Impressionism with Boudin and Monet, home of Erik Satie, it holds the Sainte-Catherine church, the largest wooden church in the country. Its cobbled streets and houses of character make the perfect setting for an intimate dinner or a reception full of charm.
The produce of the estuary and the Pays d’Auge
Honfleur lives by its fishing port and the estuary: grey shrimp, the day’s fish and shellfish are wonderfully fresh. The nearby Pays d’Auge brings Isigny butter and cream, Camembert, Livarot and Pont-l’Eveque, cider and Calvados. The chef composes a generous, iodised menu around this produce, sourced that morning.
Across the Cote Fleurie
Our chefs work Honfleur and the whole Normandy coast, from Deauville and Trouville-sur-Mer to the Cote de Grace and the Pays d’Auge.
