Day Six: Honfleur, France

 Honfleur is a beautiful old village, dating back to the Middle Ages, that sits on the mouth of the river Seine, with a distinctive style that is encapsulated in its cathedral.  Unlike many cathedrals built during the high Middle Ages, the town’s cathedral was built like the hull of a wooden ship flipped upside down.  Here the local economy was tied to fishing.   The streets are still narrow and cobblestone, difficult to navigate with a car, but ideal for pedestrians.  Amazingly, Honfleur was not destroyed by WWII fighting.  A great day.
