When we visited it was mostly pleasure vessels and some fishing boats that used the harbour. It has a small lock at the entrance, so commercial cargo vessels, unless they are very small, cannot access this port.
If they started accepting pax again, you would have to consider Le Havre.
What is "pax"? I was going to go on a cross-Atlantic cruise from Miami to Honfleur about two years on the French cruise line Ponant but decided to wait, as I had been on another cruise only about five months earlier.
Yes, I should consider the alternative, Le Havre as destination port from a port on the Eastern seabord of North America, then.
