The Old Port of Honfleur, France |
My evening visit to Honfleur began with a pre-dinner stroll around the Vieux Bassin (Old Port).

St. Catherine's Church is a wooden structure with two naves that was erected by shipbuilders in the 15th century. The bell tower was built separately to ease the load on the roof.

From the church we returned to the other side of the Vieux Bassin for dinner.

Since we were dining on the coast, I decided to try the mussels, a specialty of the region. They didn't really appeal to me. I preferred my main course of rabbit in a lemon sauce, which tasted much like chicken.
