The Plage de Butin of Honfleur ,part III !!!

Posted in Europe, France

If you have been reading my blog and thank you for it doing it since Nov 2010; then you know my sentimental attachment to Honfleur. A city gear to the ocean and fishing in the Calvados dept 14 of the region of Normandie, and in my belle France,  I have several posts on it in my blog and they are all special to me. I found more pics in my cd rom vault that should be in my blog for you and me, Let me tell you about the plage de Butin of Honfleur, part III  !!!  Hope you enjoy the post as I.

A small town by the coast ,but pack heavy of things to do here ; this is my nostalgic Honfleur.  I have other posts on the plage de Butin, but let me tell you a bit more ok, The plage de Butin beach has all the equipment to welcome you comfortably and safely during the summer season: free parking nearby, showersie, cabins, equipment rental , and a play area for children. From April to October, the beach also hosts a catering hut and inflatable play areas.

The Honfleur Lighthouse, also called the flashes of the Funds or Lighthouse of Butin or booty from its beginning in 1908 to the present day, the former Lighthouse of the Hospital, located at the foot of the Butin beach, will experience an unexpected destiny. From 1940 to 1944, it was requisitioned by the nazis who transformed it into a monumental watchtower. Small but beefy: the Butin lighthouse, alone replaced three lighthouses between Honfleur and Saint-Samson-de-la-Rocque. A range of around 14 miles, that is to say 25 km. As for the dome, it comes from the hospital’s lighthouse. On September 25, 1908: the power of the Butin lighthouse compensating that of these three lights together.

From Honfleur city center you must take the direction of Naturospace (boulevard Charles V) on the road D513 for about 1.5 kms ; we have even done it on foot. There is free parking on the left at the Butin lighthouse, can’t missed it, It can be done on bike too. The plage de Butin is coming along the shore before reaching Honfleur by the coastal road D513 coming from Trouville sur Mer. Glorious ride indeed.

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.
