About Harfleur
Harfleur: Medieval Port at the Mouth of the Seine
Harfleur sits at the eastern edge of the Le Havre conurbation in Seine-Maritime, Normandy, roughly 5 km from Le Havre city centre. Once the principal deep-water port of northern France, it held strategic importance well before Le Havre was founded in 1517. English forces under Henry V besieged and captured the town in September 1415, a campaign immortalised in Shakespeare's Henry V. The Église Saint-Martin, with its 83-metre Flamboyant Gothic spire completed in the 15th century, remains the most visible landmark and anchors the compact historic core.
Where to Stay
Accommodation in Harfleur skews toward functional 2- and 3-star hotels serving business travellers connected to the Port of Le Havre, one of France's two largest container ports. The D982 links Harfleur directly to Le Havre in under 10 minutes by car; the TER Normandie rail service reaches Rouen in approximately 50 minutes.
Practical Tips
- Getting around: Book a car for day trips to Étretat cliffs (30 km north-west) or the Abbaye de Jumièges (35 km east).
- Best season: May to September for drier weather; the medieval festival cycle runs in summer.
- Currency: Euro (€). Most hotels accept cards; carry cash for smaller cafés near the church square.
