Housed in a former prison and other dockside buildings, Musee du Vieux Honfleur details daily life and industry throughout the region's history. Enter the historic timbered building, situated in a small side alley, and explore its exhibits of everyday objects and recreated rooms representing common family life. Look for the replica of a town store, another vital cog in the social workings of this harbor town. Be sure to make your way to the church next door, which houses the museum's second section, and learn about the shipbuilding and sailing industries in the region.

    We had the chance to visit this small museum off season and to immerse us in the way of life of the ancients. Parts filled with emotions

    What a great place to grab a bite of seafood! I had the seafood soup 5/5, and the muscles in cream sauce, excellent!!

    Conveniently located in the Jongleur port. Traditional french cuisine. Amazing view from the terrasse.

    Excellent food at a good price. We ate lunchtime from the daily menu, the home made fish soup was excellent, as was the rest of the meal. Great location, lovely old building.

    Excellent food (fish & seafood) and service with a nice view on the harbour!

    The snails and shrimps as a starter weren't fresh, and the snails were still slimy and lacked seasoning. The mussels were overcooked and a lot of them were bad, they were still closed.. The creme brulee was fine. The service was nice, but that's about it.
