Balls, operettas and plays are regularly held there. The theater is considered "worthy of the biggest stages", the acoustics are excellent and the best artistic productions of the time are presented. The greatest artists and personalities of the high society of the time attend during their holidays, the Laffitte, Vernes, Perrier, Seillière, but also counts and countesses as Pourtualès or Poniatowski.

Stop atPlage Des Bains
"A monkey in winter", a film by Henri Verneuil, was shot there during the winter of 1961-1962. Villerville appears there under the name of Tigreville. A local association, created in 2001, perpetuates the memory of the shooting. Since June 2007, a large photo of the film Jean Gabin and Jean-Paul Belmondo, the two stars of the film, has been hanging on a wall at the entrance to the main street. Down this street is the Norman Cabaret, a restaurant used for filming.

Stop atChapelle Notre Dame de Grace
The chapel "Notre-Dame de Grâce" was built in 1600-1615 by the citizens and sailors of Honfleur on the site of an old chapel disappeared in a landslide of the cliff. This primitive chapel was founded before the year 1023 by Richard II, then Duke of Normandy, to fulfill a wish made during a storm in which he almost died. Since then, the cult of "Notre-Dame de Grâce" has been perpetuated. The building is classified as a historical monument in 1938.

Great option for a 1/2 day excursion in La Havre
591sherried, Dec 2024
We had a great time with Remy and Thomas as our guides. They picked us up right outside of the cruise port gates. I wanted an excursion from our cruise ship that would not take up the whole day and was accessible for my senior parents, one of which is not that mobile.
They had a blast riding in the side cars while my husband and I were the second passengers in the back. We were able to spend some time in beautiful Honfleur and then got to see a secluded church and finally a cider tasting with a small local maker. At our request, they were able to drop us of in La Havre city center where got lunch at a local restaurant and then we walked back to the cruise ship from there.
Bit of a splurge but I would do it again and highly recommend!
Fun!
