Honfleur

Seaport in the département of Calvados, France, on the south bank of the River Seine opposite Le Havre; population (1990) 10,000. It is a tourist resort, and fishing and sailing port. A picturesque town, with a Gothic church of the 15th century built entirely of wood, it was depicted by several Impressionist painters.

Above the town is a sailors' pilgrimage shrine, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.

Colonists from Honfleur founded Québec in Canada.
