The Port of Honfleur, Port de Honfleur, is the harbour of the Norman town of Honfleur, France.
The port was remodelled in 1681 by Abraham Duquesne, under orders from Colbert. The former port was a
brushed-upon shore in a small haven. Due to the expansion of the port, the Western fortifications of
the town were demolished.
The port is bordered on three sides, by buildings of two distinct styles; large stone houses on the Southside
(Quai Saint-Etienne) and high and narrow wooden houses to the North (Quai Sainte Catherine).
The lieutenancy building (la Lieutenance) is at the entrance to the old harbour. It is an old building of
the 18th century, and the former home of the Governor of Honfleur.
One of the sides of the building is an old gate of the city, the Port de Caen, which was to be part of
the city's fortifications. It was between 1684 and 1789 home to the Lieutenant of the king. It became, in 1793,
the commerce tribunal.
