Serviced Apartments in Honfleur

Honfleur is a lovely town in Normandy, at the mouth of the Seine and believed by many to be by far the prettiest town in the area. It was certainly popular with artists and the sea wall and some of the more unusual buildings in town still attract painters and sketchers to this day. Staying in an apartment rental in Honfleur you will find yourself surrounded by unusual buildings on every side.

The church of St Catherine – whose death, broken on a wheel, has given us the famous firework – was built by shipwrights using only their usual tools and looks like the upturned hull of a ship. The belltower is separate, as it was built to warn the town of fire in the first instance and so it needed to be away from the very fire-prone wooden church. Honfleur city centre (center) apartments will be very near to this church and to several others, all very interesting to visit.

Like many estuary towns, Honfleur had a thriving market in salt and the salt barns are an interesting place to visit when staying in one of the town’s serviced apartments. Honfleur also has many buildings which you might recognise from paintings, such as the farmhouse of Saint-Simeon. Whilst in your Honfleur holiday let it would be fun to visit the Boudin art gallery early in your stay and then, armed with a catalogue you can go round town site-spotting.

Another of Honfleur’s famous residents is the composer Erik Satie. You don’t have to be a fan of classical music to have heard Satie’s work, as it has been incorporated into loads of modern music by bands such as Blood Sweat and Tears and Genesis. His house is also a museum and well worth a visit when you are renting a holiday apartment in Honfleur.

A serviced flat in Honfleur is also a perfect jumping off point to explore the Normandy coast and countryside. The beaches of Normandy are rightly a place which most people want to visit at least once in their lives and the coverage of their importance in World War Two is comprehensively covered in various museums on the sites. The Marine Museum which is easy to visit if you are staying in an aparthotel in Honfleur covers the history of the links between the town and the sea. One very unusual angle which you may wish to explore when staying in a short stay apartment in Honfleur is the placement of several geocaches in the town – a kind of global orienteering-cum-treasure hunt which is played over the internet.
