Neighborhoods where to sleep in Honfleur
Honfleur is a small town, but it is made up of different districts which are very pleasant! I present these few neighborhoods to you so that you can choose the best accommodation for you later.
The Old Basins
Probably one of the best known and best located areas in Honfleur: all around the Vieux Bassin. This place is central and consists of many old and typical buildings. Very dynamic thanks to the restaurants and bars located all around, you will be both well placed for your evenings but also to visit the various places of interest in Honfleur. The Vieux Bassin is one of the best areas to sleep in Honfleur!
Sainte-Catherine district
Here is a second very charming and ideal district for a stay in Honfleur: the district around the Sainte-Catherine cathedral. This cathedral has the particularity of being entirely built of wood and of being located in front of its bell tower!
Located not far from the Vieux Bassin, you can enjoy the small cobbled streets and the typical old half-timbered houses of the city. Formerly, this district was that of the “people of the sea”.
Enclosure district
This district of the Enclos is located not far from the Vieux-Bassin, opposite the Sainte-Catherine cathedral. In this district you will find, among other things, the Town Hall or the famous salt granaries. This district also has a character with its narrow streets and stone houses.
The origin of the name of this district dates back to the time when the fortifications still protected the city. Around these fortifications were ditches filled with water, making this area impregnable, like an enclosure!
Saint-Leonard district
This last sleeping area in Honfleur is an extension of the previously presented neighborhoods. This is the neighborhood located after the Enclosure, around the Church of St. Leonard, its nearby laundry and the beautiful fountains.
It is also in this district that you will find the tourist office. Do not hesitate to get documentation on the tourist places to visit or a map of the city.
These 4 districts have advantages including being extremely well located in the city! They all allow you to move on foot throughout the city while staying in a pleasant and typical neighborhood. It is quite possible for you to have accommodation in one area and enjoy your evenings in another area. Honfleur is a city on a human scale whose center is very concentrated around the Vieux-Bassin and therefore easily accessible.
