2024年最新版　フランスの美しい港町オンフルールを日本語ウォーキングツアーでご紹介！Honfleur, France Walking Tour in 2024

Hi everyone!
I’ll walk around Honfleur, located near the mouth of the Seine.
It’s a long video, but I hope you’ll feel like you’re walking with me.
First, let’s check out Saint Catherine Church. It’s the largest wooden church in France.
The roof is wooden so the heavy bell tower was built separately.
Let’s go inside.
Look at the ceiling. It look like two boat hulls! Shipbuilders erected this church.
What do you think of it?
This structure was built after the original one was destroyed in 1419, during the One Hundred Year War.
Honfleur didn’t have enough funding to build a stone church, but wood was abundant in this area.
So cute!
Do people dine outside even in winter?
This street was under construction when I came here 9 months ago.
9 months ago.
Now, we have a beautiful cobblestone street.
Erik Satie was born at the house with the red banner.
As we approach his house, we see music notes on the street.
This is his house.
Check out my previous Honfleur video to see the inside.
This is the hotel where President Macron stays when he visits Honfleur.
Across the Seine is the city of Le Havre, a World Heritage Site.
During the WWII, the city was destroyed, and later rebuilt with concrete.
I am approaching the church on the hill.
Look at those bells. They are so exposed!
I’ve seen this church in a guidebook, but I had forgotten about it. Our local friend, Valentin, kindly took us here.
I wonder how many bells are here.
Well, I just have to count them. 24 bells!
This chapel was built in the 1600s.
Look up! Miniature boats are hanging from the ceiling.
Some original ones were stolen, and then replaced with replicas.
Truly the chapel of a fishery town.
We’re waiting for the noon bells. Exciting!
I believe the tune is from "Farandole," composed by Bizet, but not "exactly."
We were too close!
We were so close the volume was almost intolerable!
The worst place for anyone with headache.
This alley is filled with an amazing smell of soup!
Honfleur has narrow back alleys like this. They’re fun to walk through.
Ahead is the Eugène Boudin Museum. He was Monet’s mentor, and told him to paint outdoors instead of inside a studio.
Boudin was already creating Impressionism-like paintings before the word, "Impressionism," was born.
If we walk straight from his museum, we can see a house he painted.
This is the house.
And…the painting looks like this.
Bonjour! Bonjour, Monsieur!
This is the flag of Normandy!
Our breakfast – delicious croissants that Valentin baked!
No farmers market right now.
It’s quiet today.
Oh, cute dogs are approaching!
Darn, I was barked at!
It’s still early morning. Restaurants and shops are closed.
Still, I want to show you around.
Stone streets are dangerously slippery after the rain.
This is the house where Alphonse Allais was born.
In the late 19th century, there was a cabaret called, "Le Chat Noir (The Black Cat)," in the Montmartre area of Paris.
A lot of young writers and artists visited there.
The cabaret published a weekly magazine with the same name, and Alphonse Allais was the editor.
He was full of humor and he wrote many witty quips.
Let’s look at the wall over here.
See? Here’s the Black Cat.
Once again, this is a former house of Alphonse Allais.
At Le Chat Noir in Montmartre, an Honfleur native, Erik Satie, played the piano.
Claude Debussy, known for "Clair de Lune," also played the piano there.
If we walk straight from his house, we’ll reach the house of a lieutenant who worked for a French king.
This town used to be protected by a wall. This is a remaining part of it.
This history goes back to the 1300s!
And…the famous Old Port (Vieux Bassin) is on the right.
Let’s walk around the port.
We’ll check out the postcard view from this side.
By the way, that is the Honfleur Town Hall.
Let’s see…how is the view today?
Wow, the houses are lit by the morning sun.
Beautiful!
We can see the spire of Saint-Catherine.
Look at this side! This former church is now a museum.
Here, you can learn about the history of this fishing town.
This was the former Saint-Etienne Church.
I’m walking to the corner. It’s a great photo spot.
Around here.
Let’s go to the small alley next to the Marine Museum.
There’s another museum here.
Slippery!
Kind of scary!
Behind the Marine Museum.
Turning this corner.
This is the Alphonse Allais Museum.
The plaque says, "Plus petit musée de France." ("The smallest museum in France.")
Walking through here…
then, we see the former salt warehouse.
More than 10,000 tons of salt were stored here!
This was built with recycled stones of the wall that previously protected the town.
This town was known for fishing, especially, cod fishing. They even sailed near Canada to catch cod.
They needed a lot of salt to preserve the fish.
The space is now an events venue.
Unfortunately, we can’t see inside today.
In Normandy, and especially in Honfleur, mussels and fries are very popular.
Here’s a statue depicting "mussel gatherers."
Watch out for the cars!
I’m walking around the Old Port now.
This is the row of houses we saw earlier.
In spring and summer, there are many terraces with seating here, but I don’t see any in the winter low season.
While I’m walking, please enjoy some Alphonse Allais quips.
It says, "Bubbly Organic Cow Urine," but it’s actually apple juice! Haha!
Very colorful store fronts!
We’re turning this corner to go to a plaza in front of the church.
Look! Interesting junk art!
A leather craft store.
A chocolate shop!
So tempting but I have to watch out.
I think my face ballooned due to the airplane cabin pressure.
It didn’t shrink much after landing in Paris.
Eating French food doesn’t help either! The food is too good here.
I’m not sure if I could live in France.
We are back to Saint-Chatherine Church.
Surprise! I found a shiba-inu!
The owner here is such a wonderful artist! We bought a picture book!
We have a reservation at 12:15pm.
Le Bréard never disappoints us. Beautiful presentation with a sophisticated technique, and amazing flavors!
We enjoyed it very much once again!
Thank you very much for the incredible lunch!
Special thanks to Valentin! We look forward to seeing you again!
