About Équemauville
Équemauville: Gateway Village Above the Honfleur Estuary
Équemauville is a small commune in the Calvados department of Normandy, perched on the hillside directly above Honfleur, roughly 2 km from the old port. The village sits at the edge of the Côte de Grâce plateau, where the Seine estuary meets the English Channel. Visitors arrive mainly for proximity to Honfleur's 17th-century Vieux-Bassin harbour and the Pont de Normandie, the cable-stayed bridge completed in 1995 that spans 856 metres across the Seine.
Where to Stay
Hotels and chambres d'hôtes in Équemauville offer quieter rates than central Honfleur while keeping guests within a short drive of the Musée Eugène Boudin and the apple-orchard routes of the Pays d'Auge. The surrounding bocage countryside attracts cyclists following the Véloroute du Littoral. Weekend visitors often combine a stay here with the Saturday market in Honfleur's place Sainte-Catherine.
Practical Tips
- Getting there: The nearest train station is Lisieux, 30 km south-east; most visitors arrive by car via the A29 or across the Pont de Normandie from Le Havre.
- Best season: Late April through September for dry weather and full ferry connections from Le Havre.
- Local food: Look for Calvados apple brandy and Livarot AOC cheese at farm shops along the D279.
