Sounds great! We have an FA husband who is from Honfleur. My niece is trading her SFO home for a small Norman town family for 5 months next Feb. All 3 kids are going to school there! I'll be taking Boss end March for his Bday. He will turn 60 and I can't think of anywhere better for him to tour for a few days. I'll be picking your brain for details later, if you don't mind. He is a complete history fanatic.
I've been to Le Havre/Rouen with a former BF from England--took a long ferry w/his Citroen. No time for Norman beaches, but the St Jean cathedral was fascinating--on the burning site and the spire, etc imitate the stake and flames.
May I ask the name of the Honfleur B&B, please? I'm starting a Normandy travel folder--always months away to find resources. Thanks for the report.
