La Petite Folie

Top choice in Honfleur

Penny Vincent, an American who moved to France from San Francisco, and her French husband Thierry are the gracious hosts at this elegant home, built in 1830 and still adorned by the original stained glass and tile floors. Each room has a different design, with original artwork, and the best are filled with vintage furnishings and overlook the pretty garden.

The lovely common areas make a fine spot for an evening glass of wine. La Petite Folie also rents nicely designed apartments on the same street.
