Honfleur 1900

The docks of Honfleur welcome yachts, but also traditional boats of our maritime heritage all year long. 

However, in Autumn, the Shrimp Festivals provides an opportunity to see the harbor as it used to be when motorboats were not yet the reference. Seeing the Old Dock during this festival is a great experience. The program includes miscellaneous races and competitions between sailors to celebrate Shrimp which is among the cooking regional specialties of Honfleur with sea foods more generally.

The next Shrimp Festival will be held on October 8th and 9th 2005.
