A languid ballet, observable from our hotel in Honfleur, where the warm tones of the sun's rays play off the city's colors. The natural hues of the Norman countryside, changing with the seasons, mingle with the well-known shades of Honfleur – the traditional facades of the old harbor's houses.

Normandy stands distinct, rich in unique heritage, distinguished as much by its cultural wealth, glorious past, and gastronomic legacy. From William the Conqueror to Claude Monet, it offers a journey full of discoveries, tracing the Vikings and great painters.
Famous for its boardwalk, Deauville is one of France's most prestigious seaside resorts. Easily accessible from Paris, it owes its reputation to its classified villas, casino, and the famous colorful parasols dotting its beach.

A natural region located between Calvados, Orne, and Eure, Pays d’Auge holds the label "Pays d’art et d’histoire," reflecting the rich history of this part of Normandy. Between nature and tradition, Pays d’Auge harbors treasures of Norman heritage.
The western coast of Pays d’Auge, Côte Fleurie stretches along the few kilometers from the Touques estuary to that of the Orne. It is home to some of France's most charming seaside resorts, including Deauville, Trouville, Cabourg, and Honfleur, which are must-visit destinations. Many tourists come to explore the coastline, with its fine sandy beaches and steep cliffs.
The cradle of Impressionism in 1850, Honfleur and the Saint-Siméon Collection share a joint past from which both have benefited. If Honfleur has become a sought-after destination, it is partly thanks to the Saint-Siméon Collection, and if the Collection has become a reference point, it is due to both its 200 years of hospitality tradition and the charms of Honfleur. A legacy of cultural, artistic, and historical significance, the Saint Delis and the Ferme Saint-Siméon are artistic references, bearing the legacy of their illustrious past.
