Water Temperature in Honfleur: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Honfleur, a picturesque port town located in the Normandy region, sits on the estuary of the Seine River. The water temperature in the Seine River around Honfleur varies greatly throughout the year, influenced by the tidal nature of the river and its connection to the English Channel. During the winter months, water temperatures are relatively cold, typically ranging between 5-8°C (41-46°F), which makes swimming in the river not advisable due to the chill and currents. In the summer, the temperature rises slightly, reaching around 15-18°C (59-64°F), but the water remains too cool for comfortable swimming, especially given the strong tidal flow and occasional pollutants.

While swimming directly in the Seine River near Honfleur is not a popular or recommended activity, the area offers other water-based leisure options. The region boasts beautiful beaches, such as those at Deauville and Trouville, which are more suited to swimming in the summer months.
