A la découverte des Artistes de Honfleur

a-la-decouverte-des-artistes-de-honfleur

Older than 1 000 years but protected by the creation, in 1974, of a conservation area, Honfleur always exercises the same fascination, in particular on the artists who are still very many to come to immortalize the witnesses(batons) of past historic and maritime prestigious sound.

In the bend of an alley, you will discover the surprising Church saint-Catherine built between the XVè and the XVIè century and unique in France: quite wooden with its separate bell tower.

Your guide will also reveal you the impressive measure Attics with Salt (XVIIè century) which served formerly to store the salt of the Salt tax.

Then you will pursue your trip in the former districts: the Enclosure(Pen), the Old Pond, the Lieutenance, the suburb saint-Catherine
