All things half-timbered: Honfleur, France

Le Vieux Bassin, Honfleur

Having spent almost 10 weeks on a road trip around France, the style and colours and textures of buildings differ significantly from one region to the next and no more so than here in Normandy. 

We can go no further west on our road trip across France.

Mission accomplished, Menton on the Mediterranean Sea to Honfleur on the Atlantic. From now on its all about getting further north across France, through Belgium and into the Netherlands.

I have always loved the half-timbered buildings that dominate both the urban and the rural landscapes of Normandy!

Combined with hand-crafted wooden shingles the buildings of Honfleur are a joy, we ambled around, poked our noses into quaint shops and browsed happily. I found a scarf to add to my collection too.

Love the colours and the black and white so lets have both!
