When to visit Honfleur for an unforgettable experience? The best time to visit Honfleur will depend on what you want to see. This charming Normandy port town, known for its picturesque Vieux Bassin, fabulous narrow streets and festivities, has something to offer all year round:
March to May: mild temperatures and blossoming gardens envelop you in a beautiful setting. It's also a period less frequented by tourists, allowing you to enjoy the emblematic sites in a quieter atmosphere.
June to August: this is the high season in Honfleur. Pleasant temperatures and long, sunny days encourage strolls along the harbor or through the historic streets. It's also a time when the city is abuzz with cultural events, including the famous Russian Film Festival. However, be prepared for more crowds and higher prices.
September to November: Autumn marks the return of calm after the hustle and bustle of summer. Cooler temperatures lead you to take a walk in the surrounding area. The Fête des Marins, in September, is a highlight of Honfleur life, testifying to the town's deep connection with the sea.
December to February : it's winter, with Christmas decorations lighting up the Vieux Bassin and traditional markets. This low season means fewer crowds and lower accommodation rates. Winter landscapes reveal another facet of Honfleur's beauty.
Honfleur's weather is determined by an oceanic climate that delivers mild temperatures most of the year. Summer is high season, with pleasant temperatures that invite you to explore the Vieux Bassin and its picturesque streets. In winter, from December to February, temperatures are cooler, but rarely very cold, so you can enjoy Honfleur under its winter coat. Finally, spring and autumn bring moderate weather and fewer crowds.
