The old port of Honfleur - a photo on Flickriver

            View of the old port of Honfleur from the entrance of the harbor
Honfleur is a small picturesque 16th century fishing town with slate fronted houses crowded round a little beautiful scenic port (le Vieux Bassin).
Honfleur, in the Norman département of Calvados in France, is located on the southern bank of the estuary of the Seine, across from Le Havre. 
The estuary of the Seine has always exercised its fascination on numerous artists : painters, writers, musicians ... Amongst them William Turner, Johan Jongkind, Gustave Courbet, Eugène Boudin, Claude Monet, Charles Baudelaire, Erik Satie ...

Honfleur is een klein schilderachtig 16de-eeuws vissersstadje gelegen op de zuidoever aan de monding van de Seine in het Normandische departement Calvados in Frankrijk, tegenover Le Havre. Honfleur is vooral bekend om haar kleine prachtige haven (le Vieux Bassin), gekenmerkt door zijn huizen met de bedekte voorgevels van leien.
De monding van de Seine, heeft altijd zijn fascinatie uitgeoefend op tal van artiesten: schilders, schrijvers, muzikanten, waaronder William Turner, Johan Jongkind, Gustave Courbet, Eugène Boudin, Claude Monet, Charles Baudelaire, Erik Satie.
