The Harbour, Honfleur

A couple of sailing boats in the picturesque harbour of Honfleur, at the mouth of the River Seine in Normandy.

Mundane? Or should that be mundrain?

I spotted this ornate water spout and drain cover in the old part of the small French port of Honfleur:

Thursday Doors: Honfleur

Honfleur is a small port in north-west France, at the mouth of the Seine. Now dwarfed by its neighbour Le Havre, back in the Middle Ages it was a key European trading entrepĂ´t.

We made a detour on our route back from Zeebrugge to home to have a look. Unfortunately, it was the middle of a long bank holiday weekend so, despite it being the end of October, the harbour area was very crowded.

In the back streets, though, and more specifically in the rather menacingly named Rue de la Prison, I came across some interesting old doors, the first one with a highly topical question posed outside:

And finally, with a welcome splash of colour:
