“Spending a family holiday or weekend in Normandy is an opportunity to take advantage of an exceptional natural setting, combining sea, countryside and cultural heritage. Just a stone's throw from Honfleur, there are plenty of activities to tempt young and old alike: sea-scented walks, gourmet discoveries and fun tours. Here are our ideas for a successful stay.“
Honfleur: between beach, carousel and mini-golf
VISITING THE CITY WITH CHILDREN
Honfleur is easy to discover on foot, although the cobbled streets in the centre can sometimes slow down pushchairs a little. Along the way, children will love taking a ride on the merry-go-round set up on the banks of the Vieux Bassin, or a horse-drawn carriage ride through the town.
ACTIVITIES WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE
For a fun break, head to Mini Golf & Co, a small leisure area designed with families in mind. Children can try their hand at an 18-hole mini-golf course, venture out on an adventure course, or play driver on the “mini-city” course with little cars. Parents will appreciate the refreshment bar, where cold drinks and ice creams are served in a friendly atmosphere. It's the perfect place to recharge your batteries and have fun at the same time.
The day can continue with a walk on the beach: an ideal place to get out your kite and enjoy the fresh Normandy air.

NORMANDY AT FULL GALLOP!
Around Honfleur, families will find plenty of activities to enjoy in the fresh air. If you want to immerse yourself in the Normandy countryside or enjoy the beach, opt for a pony or horse ride for an unforgettable experience.
OUTDOORS AND THRILLS
For older children aged 12 and over, sand yachting offers a thrilling experience on the sands of Honfleur's Plage du Butin. A little further afield, at the end of a visit to Trouville-Deauville, embark on a tree-climbing course accessible from the age of 5, where you can climb from tree to tree in complete safety.
ACTIVITIES BETWEEN SEA AND COUNTRYSIDE
In a quieter setting, the Ferme des Cocottes invites young and old alike to meet the animals and discover life on the farm. Finally, for an escape on the water, there's nothing like a sea trip from Honfleur, ideal for admiring the Seine estuary from a different angle.
