European Cruise- Honfleur


So while the ladies were off to Paris, I stayed in the beautiful port village of Honfleur. This village is probably were the phase, “kodak moment” was born! Around every corner one encounters beautiful scenery that he has probably seen in travel magazines or in a museum painted by an Impressionist Painter. My photo’s doesn’t do the village justice:

I told you! Beautiful! As Jenny says, this looks very much like harbor scene in Copenhagen, which I will show later since was our last stop on this trip.
Saint Catherine's Clock Tower; the largest wooden church in France is on the left. The church is shown in the next photo.
In this shot you can see the church on the left. The clock tower was built separate from the church.
A very unique church; the church dates back to the end of the 15th century.
One of the many streets with quaint houses. There was a sign on one of these that indicated a Jean LeClair (1919-1996) lived here. I think he was a local artist but I couldn't find any information on him.
A shot my daughter might have taken, but she would have presented much better! I thought of Jenny when I took this one: notice the "creperie" sign!
Like I said, "kodak moments" everywhere!
Another shot of Saint Catherine Church from a different vantage point.
The old and the new!
Jenny is probably sorry she went to Paris instead of staying in Honfleur and had crepes by the waterfront!
