[Barrel of Fun]

I holidayed in Honfleur many years ago and I am pretty sure it had a port back then!

 

[Hiney]

Honfleur is right on the mouth of the river, whereas Le Havre is a little bit further round.

 

[Beach Hut]

CM-J, yes.

Thats the one, you get the drift

Strictly speaking, doesn't The Seine run into the sea at Honfleur?

Left bank, Honfleur.

Right bank, Le Havre.

Simples!

Honfleur is further down the river. Le Havre is sort of further out, but it is in the Seine bay.
I have taken yachts into both many times, and have many tales to tell!
