Known for its cobbled lanes, half-timbered houses and traditional Old Harbour, Honfleur is a charming spot to experience Normandy's maritime past. You'll find this triplex apartment in the heart of town, less than a ten-minute walk from the famous Vieux Bassin, where old-world fishing boats bob in the Seine estuary and classic French restaurants and independent shops line the picturesque quay. Whether you fancy alfresco dining in the summer sunshine, museum hopping on rainy days or just some laid-back sightseeing across the city, you couldn't ask for a better locale to call home. Inside, pared-back design and Scandi-inspired stylings create a cosy base for relaxation. Sprawl out in the living space and rest weary legs after an adventure-filled afternoon. Big windows overlook the bustling streets below, so you'll never feel too far from the action. The kitchen is well-suited for rustling up bites to eat, and you can nibble on dreamy local cheeses or savour a glass of the area's iconic cider or Calvados brandy around the dining table. On the top level, a squishy sofa is a perfect place to curl up with a book before bedtime – perhaps a work by Normandy notable Guy de Maupassant might be on the cards? Home truths: *This is a triplex apartment set across three floors – it's not suitable for people with reduced mobility *On request, your host can provide a cot and high chair for little ones *This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected *There are sheer curtains in the bedroom, so expect the natural light to wake you up – we think this flat may be best for early risers *There's no washing machine here, but there are a few dry cleaners and a self-service laundrette nearby *The bathroom is quite small, especially the shower *Although there isn't a desk, the dining table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace if you need to work from home
