Honfleur is the most picturesque of the Cote Fleurie's seaside towns. The cobbled streets that are lined with a stunning selection of stylish boutiques in the old timber houses. It is especially known for its old, beautiful port, characterized by its houses with slate-covered frontages, painted many times by artists, including in particular Gustave Courbet, Eugene Boudin, Claude Monet and Johan Jongkind, forming the ecole de Honfleur (Honfleur school) which contributed to the appearance of the Impressionist movement. Much of its Renaissance architecture remains intact-especially around the 17th-century Vieux Bassin harbor, where the water is fronted on one side by two-story stone houses with low, sloping roofs and on the other by tall slate-topped houses with wooden facades.
