The Carrousel de Honfleur !

Posted in Europe, France

Ok folks lets keep it Honfleur, a wonderful town, and very popular for good reasons. We love to come here ever since the early 90’s and then it became nostalgic and sentimental many souvenirs and waiting to get back as each year.  This is one of the sights you see first when you get to the vieux basin or old harbor in Honfleur and the nice building facing it is the city/town hall! There it is indeed for the young and old and young in you, the carousel. Therefore, here is my take on the Carrousel de Honfleur ! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

Honfleur

Let me tell you a bit as not a favorite of the tourist office there. The Honfleur carousel, well known to locals, has been installed every year since 1995 in front of the city/town hall. Its pretty wooden horses delight children but also adults, who traditionally gather around this merry-go-round. It is a copy of the carousels of the 1900s, made up of wooden horses.

The carousel is present from May to October in the city, before leaving to get a makeover during the winter.  The carousel is open every day from 10h to 19h30. Variable closing times in July and August: sometimes until 23h. Located at Place de la Mairie. A look at night too

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
