La Petite Folie is a beautiful house in the heart of Honfleur, offering 8 luxury apartments just steps from the Vieux Bassin. Fully renovated, it sits at 44 Rue Haute, in the historic Sainte-Catherine quarter.
It’s a direct neighbour of composer Erik Satie’s birthplace and the Eugène Boudin Museum.
Just two minutes on foot from the old harbour, the whole town is yours to discover on foot.
Everything you need to plan your stay with confidence:
Ranked among Honfleur’s most remarkable addresses, La Petite Folie is far more than a place to stay — it’s a house of real character, known well beyond the town itself. Its 8 charming apartments, spread across three floors, were entirely decorated by an interior designer who blended Norman authenticity with contemporary refinement. Every space has its own personality, its own warm palette, its own carefully chosen furniture.
At the heart of the house, an intimate garden — a genuine haven of calm — invites quiet contemplation among lush greenery. This is where you’ll find the 1871 Moorish pavilion, a rare and emblematic feature, restored in the spirit of its era: a place for tea, for reading, or simply for pausing.
Louise and Sukru, who run the house day to day, are on hand throughout your stay with the kind of advice only genuine locals can give.
Honfleur’s Vieux Bassin is one of the most photographed images in France. Its half-timbered houses, mirrored in the harbour’s still water, inspired Boudin, Courbet and Monet — and it’s easy to see why. From La Petite Folie, it’s just two minutes on foot to the waterside, into an atmosphere where time seems to stand still. The market, the galleries, the restaurants along the Lieutenance — it’s all within an easy stroll.
Héloïse and Olivier, the owners of La Petite Folie, also created Le Clos de Grâce, a charming address set on the hills above Honfleur. In a lush, peaceful setting, Le Clos de Grâce offers guest rooms, suites, a gîte and a full wellness area (spa, massages, heated pool). A lovely alternative, or an ideal complement for groups or families looking for a slightly different experience — with the same commitment to quality and hospitality.
