Located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the river Bou Regreg, Rabat plus the city of Temera are home to a combined metropolitan population of 2.6 million.
Honfleur
Honfleur is a commune in the Calvados Department in northwestern France. It is located on the southern bank of the Seine estuary across from le Havre and very close to the Pont de Normandie exit. Honfleur is the most picturesque of the Cote Fleurie's seaside towns. The cobbled streets that are lined with a stunning selection of stylish boutiques in the old timber houses. It is especially known for its old, beautiful port, characterized by its houses with slate-covered frontages, painted many times by artists, including in particular Gustave Courbet, Eugene Boudin, Claude Monet and Johan Jongkind, forming the ecole de Honfleur (Honfleur school) which contributed to the appearance of the Impressionist movement. Much of its Renaissance architecture remains intact-especially around the 17th-century Vieux Bassin harbor, where the water is fronted on one side by two-story stone houses with low, sloping roofs and on the other by tall slate-topped houses with wooden facades.
