Honfleur

Our journey begins with a seamless pick-up from Honfleur, where our experienced guide will meet you at the cruise port or at your hotel. Fully accessible for visitors with reduced mobility.  Based at the foot of the Normandy Bridge on the Seine Estuary and a stone’s throw from the historic town center, Honfleur’s cruise terminal has an exceptionally favorable location, making Honfleur a much-appreciated cruise stopover. During World War II, Honfleur, located near the mouth of the Seine River, played a supportive role after the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944. While not a direct landing site, its port and location were strategically important for logistical support. Supplies, reinforcements, and equipment moved through the area to aid advancing Allied forces. Honfleur was eventually liberated as part of the broader campaign to secure Normandy and push back German forces. As we depart from Honfleur, your guide will provide a brief introduction to the significance of the region.

At the German Cemetery, you'll encounter a different perspective on the events that unfolded during D-Day. Nestled amidst serene landscapes, this solemn resting place bears witness to the sacrifices made on both sides of the conflict. Marked by neatly arranged gravestones, it serves as a poignant reminder of the toll exacted by war.
