a seaport-town of France, department of Calvados, and arrondissement of Port l'Évêque, on the southern shore of the estuary of the Seine, 8 miles S.E. of Havre, with which it has regular steam communication. The town is old and ill built. The harbour is accessible only at high water, and is chiefly frequented by fishing or small coasting craft. The herring, mackerel, and whiting fisheries are actively prosecuted; and numerous vessels sail annually for the cod, whale, and seal fisheries. Honfleur sends weekly to England about 7000 dozens of eggs, besides butter, fruit, &c. Its commerce, formerly considerable, has been almost entirely absorbed by Havre. The chief manufactures are hosiery, lace, chemical products, and hardware. There are also shipbuilding yards, rope-walks, and saw-mills. The chapel of Notre Dame de Grace, on the hill above the town, is much frequented by sailors, and filled with their votive offerings. Pop. 9580.
