History Museum Museum
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.

    It's worth visiting this in any case. One feels transported back very vividly in the history of the city and its inhabitants. The exhibits are also very nicely arranged and very well preserved. None of the rooms is overloaded.

    This museum shows very well how life here in previous centuries. Well worth a visit and 1 ticket to combine with Musée de la Marine which is located next to it.

    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.
