10:00 - 11:00 Arrival in Honfleur. Honfleur walking tour with its famous old harbour. Honfleur - the main defensive port of Normandy of the XV century, transformed into a charming resort town with a picturesque Bay, much-loved by the artists of the XIX century. Honfleur was first mentioned in 1027, when it belonged to the Norman Duke Richard III. The owners of the city changed several times during The Hundred Years ' War. In the XV century, there were French pirates - corsairs who ravaged the English coast. A little later, in the XVII—XVIII centuries, the city became significantly rich in trade with the American colonies. After the port was closed, the city's economy declined and Honfleur became a suburb of Le Havre. Today it is one of the most known tourist cities in Normandy. The walking city tour takes about 1 hour.

Great Trip, Very Long Day
We had a wonderful experience with our driver/ guide Rusti. Despite the holiday traffic and very long day trip, he was very friendly and helpful.
Rusti was right on time to pick us up in the morning. He drove us all through Honfleur before allowing us time to explore on our own. While driving he shared a lot of history about the port town as well as other facts about France cities and tourism. When we arrived at Mont Saint Michel he got us a map and gave us very good directions and recommendations. We rode the bus to the island, found a place for lunch, and explored until time to meet. Rusti guided us up the (hundreds of) steps with abbey tickets purchased in advance. He took many great photos of us and when the abbey tour was canceled he took us through the rooms and gave us a personal tour. The car was comfortable, bottled water provided, and rest stops along the way. Rusti was great and Clewel Travel is FANTASTIC! We loved all 3 tours we had.
