La Petite Lucie

The three-star maison de maître on Rue des Capucins, La Petite Lucie sits a five-minute walk from Honfleur's Vieux Bassin harbour, away from the quayside noise that fills the port-facing hotels each weekend.

The house retains its original timber-frame Norman façade and steep interior staircase. Rooms are individually furnished in a spare, residential style rather than chain-hotel uniform. With only a handful of rooms, the property runs at a scale where requests are handled personally rather than through a front-desk queue.

Rue des Capucins connects quickly to Sainte-Catherine church, the largest timber church in France, two blocks north. Buses to Deauville and Caen stop on the main road within 200 metres.
