Honfleur is a charming port town located in the Normandy region of northern France. Situated on the southern bank of the Seine estuary, Honfleur is known for its picturesque harbor, colorful buildings, and historical significance.
One of the main attractions in Honfleur is its beautiful Vieux Bassin (Old Harbor). This picturesque harbor is lined with 16th to 18th-century houses, many of which are now home to art galleries, cafes, and restaurants. The reflections of the buildings on the calm waters of the harbor create a postcard-perfect scene that has attracted artists and visitors for centuries.
The Sainte-Catherine Church is another notable landmark in Honfleur. Built in the 15th century, it is the largest wooden church in France. The separate bell tower, which stands next to the church, offers panoramic views of the town and the surrounding area.
Art enthusiasts will find Honfleur to be a particularly inspiring destination. The town has a rich artistic heritage and has attracted many famous painters over the years, including Eugène Boudin and Claude Monet. Honfleur's artistic legacy is celebrated in the Eugene Boudin Museum, which houses an impressive collection of works by Boudin and other artists associated with the town.
Honfleur also offers a vibrant art scene with numerous galleries showcasing the works of local and international artists. The town hosts various art festivals and events throughout the year, including the Honfleur Normandy Impressionist Festival, which celebrates the Impressionist movement and its connection to the region.
Visitors to Honfleur can also explore the picturesque cobbled streets of the town, lined with timber-framed houses and charming shops. The Place Sainte-Catherine is a central square with lively cafes and a market where you can sample local products, including cheese, cider, and Calvados (a type of apple brandy).
Honfleur's location near the Seine estuary makes it a great starting point for exploring the wider Normandy region. The nearby Pont de Normandie, an iconic cable-stayed bridge, provides easy access to the resort town of Deauville and the historic city of Rouen.

Types of returns and responsibilities
Change of mind return
Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.
Item not fit for purpose
Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.
