Near our B&B was this nice church: St. Leonard’s Church (Église Saint-Léonard), with a
flamboyant 16th century Gothic style façade; the rest of the building was rebuilt in the 17th-18th
centuries, which explains the unusual form of the bell tower.

We had booked two nights with La Maison de Honfleur and we very pleased with this exquisite room.
And I was particularly pleased to find a wonderful collection of books, esspecially the books on photography!
Truly a wonderful stay.

Breakfasted included a choice of cheeses and found Pave d'Auge from a nearby town.
When we returned from 'walk about', I noticed a fresh supply had been bought.

I always find myself in an irritating mood when looking for lunch or dinner in France; there is an abundance
of full meal ('gourmand') possibilities but very little available for a simple sandwich on all hours of the day.
It often resulted in pizza or pancakes for us.
Note the Saint-Etienne church (b.1369), next to the restaurant, it is the oldest church in town. Now a naval museum.

I noticed the sign above: Alphonse Allais, écrivain humoriste, 1854 - 1905.
With the Charlie Hebdo and other cartoonists under threat by Islam fanatics and terrorists
these days, I wondered if Monsieur Allais ever faced such threats in his time.
Fortunately there is Wikipedia: "Alphonse Allais (20Oct1854 – 28Oct1905) was a French
writer and humorist born in Honfleur, Calvados. Honfleur has a street (Rue Alphonse Allais)
and a school (Collège Alphonse Allais) named for him."
I don't think Monsieur Allais' humor or poetry brought him death threats. We live in sad times.

The Sainte-Catherine church has a bell tower (above) separate from the
principal building (below) and it is the largest church made out of wood in France.

During the late 15th century, the inhabitants built Sainte Catherine’s church, an extraordinary wooden edifice, to replace an earlier stone building, destroyed during the Hundred Years War. They used their ship-building skills
to build the church with wood taken from the Forest of Touques. It was listed as a historical monument in
1879, and has drawn the attention of many archaeologists and historians.

I passed this wonderful shop, 'Agora Gallerie', and had a peek & inquiry for the prices of the vintage plane models.
Alas, it was not in my budget this time, but perhaps next time!

In the 'Agora Gallery' were these photos on display: "Don Grego, petite-photographe'.
The photographer showed a wonderful eye for the usual things we take for granted, but depicted here with impact.

NOT WHAT IT SEEMS..

It looks like an eye, but look closer: it is a compilation of many, many photos of a different part of anatomy...
The original was immense and showed both eyes. The reflection of the shopwindow spoils a bit, but it was too good to pass!

A house is being renovated but at a distance one is fooled by the painted canvas. Nice work.

Streets of Honfleur, away from the maddening crowds.

War monument.

Read below text on the butchers' stalls of which the above one shown is the only one surviving, dating from 17th century.

The Saint-Etienne church mentioned in this text can be found harbour-side, partially shown on one of the previous photos.
