Gribouille

Honfleur


A favourite of both locals and out-of-towners in the know, Gribouille is one shop you should not miss. This small store is packed to the ceiling with fine preserves, sweets and liqueurs, and it's been run by the same family for four generations. Wise-cracking staff are happy to let you try some of the local tipples (with a ride range of pommeau and calvados on hand).
