Historical general information: The foundation of the city is contemporary
among that of the duchy of Normandy. It was attached to the Crown
in 1204 but had to suffer much at the time of the One hundred Year
old war: in 1340, the boats of Honfleur were destroyed by the English
who, in 1357, took and plundered the city. The treaty of Brétigny
returned it to France. Charles V made a strengthened place of it.
Begun again by the English in 1418, it was definitively released in
1450. With the end of 15th, it was a prosperous port. The beginning
of 16th and 17th transfer explorations of the sailors honfleurois:
in 1503 Paulmier de Gonneville discovered Brazil, in 1506 Jean Denis
discovered Newfoundland and the mouth of the St. Lawrence, in 1603
Samuel de Champlain started from Honfleur for Canada and founded Quebec
in 1608; during 17th, the boats honfleurois explored the Indies and
Canada. With the end of 17th, Colbert sent Duquesne to proceed to
the enlarging of the port which accepted the galères of the
king in 1690 in the Old Basin surrounded of houses in overhang and
equipped with slates. Set up in vicomté in 1726, Honfleur was
a bailliage in 1749. It accepted the visit of Louis XVI in 1786. The
Basin of the center then was built. Converted with the trade of wood
since 1816, Honfleur found a new prosperity after the wars of the
Revolution and the Empire, but the port ensabla, which slows down
its traffic which remains however of 500 000 tons today. The site
attracted a number of poets, writers and especially of painters: it
is in the Toutain mother that met the impressionists. Fatherland of
the navigators Paulmier de Gonneville, Pierre Berthelot, Doublet,
Motorcyclist, Hamelin, of the economist Play, the painters Xavier
Leprince and Eugene Boudin, of the writers or poets Alphonse Allais,
