Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Grâce
Côte de Grâce
A 17th-century sailors' chapel on the hill west of Honfleur, painted by Monet, with views over the Seine estuary.
The Chapel of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce stands on the Côte de Grâce heights west of Honfleur. Built in the 17th century, it was a place where sailors and fishermen prayed for safe voyages. Its walls are hung with ship models and votive plaques giving thanks. Monet and Boudin both painted this little chapel. The viewing terrace beside it overlooks the Seine estuary, Le Havre port and the Pont de Normandie, and the views are best at sunset. Admission is free. Walk up the slope from the Vieux Bassin in about 20 to 30 minutes, or drive straight to the car park.
