Sailboats and colorful facades of Honfleur’s Old Basin poster

Honfleur poster, the Old Basin and its sailboats

Tall, narrow slate-roofed houses crowd around Honfleur’s Old Basin, their facades each painted a different color. Sailboats are moored on the calm water, and the facades reflect in long bands of color. The gentle, picturesque scene recalls why this harbor has inspired so many painters. This portrait-format Honfleur poster emphasizes the height of the houses and the depth of the basin. The “HONFLEUR” lettering is drawn in the style of illustrated travel posters.

The Old Basin for a bedroom, an entryway or as a gift

Vertical and subtly shaded, it hangs well in an entryway, a bedroom, a hallway or a living room. Its facade colors and reflections pair beautifully with painted wood, linen, blue tableware and white or light gray walls. It can make a pair with another Honfleur poster or one of another Normandy harbor. It makes a ready-made gift for an amateur painter, a lover of Normandy, a sailor or friends who spend their weekends on the Côte Fleurie.
