Honfleur with kids: the best family activities
Looking for a destination where kids and adults have fun together? Honfleur is a real playground for families! With its charming streets, unspoiled nature and fun-filled discoveries, this little Norman gem offers tons of child-friendly activities. Wondering what to do in Honfleur with your family? Here are our favorite ideas!
Must-sees you can’t miss with children
No visit to Honfleur is complete without a stroll around the Vieux Bassin. Colorful houses, water reflections and a one-of-a-kind vibe, it’s like stepping into a postcard. Don’t miss the carousel nearby. Climb to the top for one of the best views of the harbor!
Another gem: Sainte-Catherine’s Church. Its wooden structure shaped like an upside-down boat always sparks kids’ curiosity. Want to wander freely? Head into the medieval streets for an adventure, but note that some alleys aren’t stroller-friendly.
Get moving and breathe: nature breaks in Honfleur
The sea wall is perfect for a family escape. On one side, the sea, massive container ships and the Pont de Normandie. On the other, the Jardin des Personnalités, a peaceful place to run, shout and take a break from the crowds.
For playground fun, head to the public garden, where kids can slide and swing while parents enjoy a moment of calm.
Want something more immersive? The Naturospace is the place to be. Butterflies flutter freely in a lush tropical environment. It’s magical but be warned, it’s hot and humid inside. Dress light!
