The Museum of Ethnography and Folk Art occupies a beautifully preserved 16th-century half-timbered house in the heart of Honfleur. Inside, you'll find a rich collection of artifacts that illustrate daily life in Normandy from the 18th to early 20th centuries. The exhibits include traditional costumes, furniture, ceramics, and tools used in farming and fishing. The museum's intimate rooms recreate domestic interiors, a cider cellar, and a lace-making workshop, giving visitors a tangible sense of the past. The building itself, with its steeply pitched roof and timber frame, is a highlight, showcasing the region's distinctive architectural style. It's a charming stop for anyone interested in local heritage and the evolution of rural life in this part of France.
