Honfleur to Paris

Hello....we are cruising with Crystal from England to Portugal. One of the stops is Honfleur suggesting an outing to Paris. It seems like it might be a nightmare of a bus ride to and from. Has anyone done this excursion? Any suggestions?

None! Other then the bus tour (or spending the big bucks to hire a private car/driver) you have no decent options. It would be possible to take a taxi from Honfleur to Le Havre and then catch a train to Paris, but finding a taxi and paying the price (round trip) plus waiting for that train....etc etc. does not make this a great option.

There are plenty of reasonable options in that part of France that do not involve the long drive (or train) into Paris. But using Honfleur as a port really makes everything difficult except for pre-booked excurisons/tours. And by the way, we plead guilty to really liking Honfleur. It is one of our favorite places to enjoy a long lunch (at one of the restaurants that lines the harbor) and we enjoy just strolling around town. But the lack of a local train station or rental car agencies makes it a not friendly port for independent travelers.

We hired audio guides from the library 3.5 euros well spent.Honfleur is a lovely very old town,stepped in history very popular with parsians at the weekends

You could hire a car and drive there but it would be a real rush and stressful
