	30th30	SepSep	202525	Honfleur, France	07:00
Honfleur, the most picturesque of the Côte Fleurie's seaside towns, is a time-burnished place with a surplus of half-timber houses and cobbled streets that are lined with a stunning selection of stylish boutiques. 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. Maritime expeditions (including some of the first voyages to Canada) departed from here; later, Impressionists were inspired to capture it on canvas. But the town as a whole has become increasingly crowded since the Pont de Normandie opened in 1995. Providing a direct link with Upper Normandy, the world's sixth-largest cable-stayed bridge is supported by two concrete pylons taller than the Eiffel Tower and designed to resist winds of 257 kph (160 mph). Join us on an optional excursion for both packages: Guided tour of Honfleur.This afternoon, join us for the optional excursions proposed:CLASSIC: Stroll along La Cte d'Albtre between cliffs and villages.DISCOVERY: Hike across the cliffs of tretat to bask in the landscapes that have been dramatically shaped by weather and erosion.We'll return on board in Honfleur and sail towards Rouen through the night.
