Honfleur

After leaving Rouen, we stopped in Honfleur on our way to Mont Saint-Michel. Honfleur is a port town in the Lower Normandy region of France. 

On the water, the picturesque town boasts cute shops and restaurants along the pier. The city was originally on a significant trade route between Rouen, France and England. Although the city is no longer booming as it once was, the port still functions today.

Greg managed to park a few blocks away from the old town. Greg was still trying to get used to the manual transmission of the vehicle. The city was surprisingly busy with tourist traffic, so we didn't even try to park to closer. We strolled through old down and down the pier. 

We didn't stay long; we had only put about an hour and a half into the parking meter.  Additionally, we still had to drive to Mont Saint-Michel, and we knew the trip would be harder in the dark. Although we didn't have much time, I'm glad we stopped.
