Normandy artist s cottage in Honfleur France
House in Normandy, France
Property Details of Normandy House
A three-minute walk from the delightful old harbor in one of the most beautiful towns of France -- a stone and half-timber cottage with a romantic past.
The main rooms and a private terrace look out on manicured lawns, rooftops and chimney pots, and the sky over the coast.
Set beside a pedestrian lane, the three-story cottage offers remarkable calm and charming decor.
In French art history, it figures as the meeting place of the poet Charles Baudelaire and the coastal painter Eugene Boudin.
Local Area DetailsOn the Quay St. Catherine, tall, slender houses from the 1600's frame the Old Harbor with its yachts and fishing boats.
Cobbled streets meander past half-timbered houses, a great wooden church built by ships' carpenters, museums of art, music, seafaring and Norman life, restaurants, art galleries, craft and antique shops -- all beneath the unspoiled hills and dramatic skies of the Normandy coast.
Samuel Champlain set sail from Honfleur to found the colony of Quebec in 1608.
Today, the town provides an excellent base for the exploration of the beach towns of Deauville and Trouville, the countryside of the Calvados region, Caen with its Peace Memorial and Museum of the Battle of Normandy, the 1944 invasion beaches and Bayeux, with its famous tapestry -- all less than two hours away.
Painters have come to Honfleur for nearly two centuries for the light, the sky and the beauty of the coast. Gourmands come for the fresh seafood, wonderful cheeses and fine old Calvados that takes the apple to new heights. And lovers come just to be swept away.
Come yourself, take your time, explore the centuries-old streets, sleep late, go window shopping, watch the clouds on parade, visit the farmers market, have a meal on the terrace or by the fireplace, or dine out in one of the town's many fine restaurants and then stroll home.
