Le Havre, Honfleur, and Monet

Today we visited the beautiful medieval town of Honfleur under the direction of our guide Monique. This town was the home of Claude Monet, Eric Satie and several other noted French artists and composers. In the middle of the cold morning, we stopped for an eclair and a lemon tart at a small coffee shop. I took some beautiful photographs. We fell in love with the town. We came back to the ship for lunch and then went to an art museum. The rain caught us as we did the two-mile walk to the art museum. It was only 1/8 of a mile from the ship, however we had to walk around the dock and that made the distance much longer. We saw many impressionistic works, but Glenda was particularly taken with their one work by Claude Monet. We had reservations at Manfredi's. I had antipasti and lasagna, with tiramisu for dessert.Read more
