Our ideas for family outings in Deauville and Honfleur

Your free family outing: stroll on the Old Basin

It is the emblematic place to visit which will make your visit a unique moment!
Along your family stroll, you will discover the picturesque and port side which makes Honfleur so charming. As a general rule, children find the slate-fronted houses original and the walk around the boats is pleasant to do as a family, regardless of their age. Think about it: from 6 p.m. in winter, with the Christmas lights in the street but also on the boats, it's even more magical!

A carousel ride is required

With its photogenic appearance and pink dyeing, this historic and well-maintained carousel facing the Old Port quickly catches the eye of children. So you won't escape a request from them to take a little ride in the carousel! Ticket prices are not excessive and your whole tribe will be warmly welcomed on site in front of the magnificent view of the basin.


It is definitely the essential point of interest for children discovering Honfleur. Moreover, this ride has become a tradition for certain families each time they come to visit the estuary land. Maybe because it's the perfect time for the little ones to enjoy it while the adults take a break?

The Naturospace: visit the butterflies

Are you looking for an idea for an unusual family activity in Normandy? So enter the tropical greenhouse at Naturospace in Honfleur. There you will encounter butterflies, birds and exotic plants.


At the heart of an equatorial setting at 28°C, the whole family will be dazzled by colorful and exceptional species! You will take an astonishing trip to a covered site with a tropical jungle setting. Your walk will follow the path specially designed for visits to the greenhouse. It is at this precise moment that your visit and the discovery of different tropical plants begins. But what you will remember most are the brightly colored butterflies that flutter just a few meters from you and in every corner of the greenhouse. Not forgetting the fish pond located right in the middle of the zoological garden.  


Tip from our reception: this family outing is even more pleasant when there are fewer crowds, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.!
