Normandy can be visited all year round! And our beloved medieval city is no exception to the rule. Autumn adorns Honfleur with a shimmering palette of colors, transforming this charming Normandy town into a living tableau. When the leaves of the trees turn gold and red, Honfleur reveals a magical and soothing atmosphere. Whether you are a history buff, a nature lover or simply looking for moments of relaxation, here are five must-do activities to fully appreciate autumn in Honfleur.




Stroll along the seaside under the autumn colors
In autumn, the charm of Old Bassin Honfleur is even more enchanting. The cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses seem to come straight out of a fairy tale. A simple stroll along the harbor at dusk offers spectacular views where the reflection of the colorful facades dances on the water. It is a perfect moment to soak up the unique atmosphere of Honfleur and discover its small craft shops and Art Galeries which bear witness to the artistic soul of the city.
