Home to the Normandy Bridge, this small town offers beautiful landscapes, timbered houses, and a bell tower.

Honfleur is a commune in northwestern France. It is located on the southern bank of the estuary of the Seine. It is especially known for its old, beautiful picturesque port, characterized by its houses with slate-covered frontages, painted many times by artists, including in particular Gustave Courbet, Eugène Boudin, Claude Monet and Johan Jongkind, forming the ecole de Honfleur which contributed to the appearance of the Impressionist movement. The Sainte-Catherine church, which has a bell tower separate from the principal building, is the largest church made out of wood in France.

Have just arrived back in NZ after being away for one month... I cannot speak highly enough of your organisation very informative, very professional and met all expectations. Everything worked like clockwork and went without a hitch. I have already recommended your organisation to friends and relatives who need help in planning a European tour. Thanks again for your very impressive website and your attention to detail.

My trip with RoutePerfect went great! At first I was a little skeptical since the hotel prices were a lot cheaper than I had anticipated it to be. As soon as I paid for the hotels I quickly received an email confirmation with all of my reservations. The website was really user friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed using it. I have told all of my friends about how great the website is and I will be using the website again for my future travels.
