A port of exploration

Honfleur is a town of norman origins, located on the southern bank of the estuary of the Seine in the Norman département of Calvados, France (the marker on this map shows the plane's position).

It is especially known for its old port: the port houses frontages were painted by artists including Claude Monet and Johan Jongkind. The école de Honfleur contributed to the appearance of the Impressionist movement.

Expeditions from this harbour led to the foundation of Quebec.

Actually, the port is but a series of basins, linked to the Seine by an access channel.
