Honfleur is a town in the Calvados department, part of the Normandy region of northern France. It lies on the estuary of the Seine, which flows into the English Channel. The old port, lined with authentic 16th- to 18th-century houses, has inspired artists such as Claude Monet and Eugène Boudin, sons of the town. Nearby is the 15th-century church of Sainte-Catherine, with its vaulted wooden structure built by shipyard workers.
