Great cycle path. Perfect surface, generous width and no cars. Even though the route "only" goes straight, it's fun to ride.

It goes about 1km uphill at a constant 6%, and on the other side about 1km downhill at 6%. And the architecture of the bridge is impressive, the view in good weather is great. I was very surprised that there is a bike lane, because it is perhaps only 1-1.2m wide, and separated from car and truck traffic, which rushes by at 80-90 km/h, only by a white line on the asphalt. Certainly no cycling pleasure. And with the quite strong winds that can make you wobble, it's not entirely safe either. Next to it, there is an almost equally narrow footpath, but it is separated from the roadway by a curb (at least). The crossing of the bridge is (would be) certainly a highlight of any bike tour, but the incredibly narrow strip next to the fast-flowing traffic makes it no real pleasure.

A serious WARNING to all cyclists. I found the crossing life-threatening. The cycle path is approx. 1 m wide, only color-marked and at intervals of 1.5 to 2 m, trucks thunder past, gaining speed to climb the bridge. The footpath is bordered by a curb and does not make the crossing any less dangerous. Side winds and headwinds on the incline made me sway considerably. If you have to cross: PLEASE WALK YOUR BIKE!

A port for numerous boats and a home port for many artists, the port of Honfleur is synonymous with Impressionism. It is also a place steeped in history, local produce, and traditions. Cyclists, stop and explore the surrounding area.

A small town that has to cope with a lot of tourists, but is so beautiful that you absolutely have to visit it.
