<p>Ce monument d'origine romane (XIe siècle) est célèbre pour son clocher aux allures de tour de guet ou de minaret, s'élevant sur quatre étages. La vue en contre-plongée souligne l'imposante horloge à chiffres romains et les arcades en plein cintre caractéristiques qui ont été partiellement murées au fil des siècles.</p>

<p>🇫🇷 Français🇫🇷 La Lieutenance : Dernier rempart médiéval d’Honfleur ⚓La bâtisse en pierre qui domine le Vieux Bassin sur ce cliché n'est autre que la Lieutenance. Ce monument emblématique d'Honfleur doit son nom au fait qu'il servait, à partir du XVIIe siècle, de logis au Lieutenant du Roi.Il s'agit du seul vestige important des anciennes fortifications de la ville, qui entouraient autrefois le quartier de l'Enclos. Sa structure actuelle mêle harmonieusement les époques : sa base en pierre calcaire remonte à la fin du Moyen Âge (XVe siècle), englobant la « Porte de Caen » qui protégeait l'accès à la cité, tandis que la partie supérieure en briques et à pans de bois date des modifications successives des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles.C'est depuis ce bastion stratégique et la porte fortifiée attenante que de célèbres navigateurs ont largué les amarres. Parmi eux, Samuel de Champlain, qui est parti d'ici en 1608 pour son grand voyage vers le Nouveau Monde, où il fonda la ville de Québec<br />

.🇬🇧 English🇬🇧 The Lieutenance: Honfleur's Last Medieval Stronghold ⚓The¨ majestic stone building overlooking the Old Harbor (Vieux Bassin) in this photograph is the famous Lieutenance. This iconic monument of Honfleur owes its name to the fact that, from the 17th century onwards, it served as the official residence for the King's Lieutenant.It stands as the only significant remnant of the town's ancient fortifications, which once enclosed the historic &quot;L'Enclos&quot; district. Its current architecture beautifully blends different eras: the limestone base dates back to the late Middle Ages (15th century), incorporating the &quot;Caen Gate&quot; that used to protect the city entrance, while the upper brick and half-timbered section comes from successive renovations in the 17th and 18th centuries.It was from this strategic bastion and its adjoining fortified gate that legendary navigators set sail. Most notably, Samuel de Champlain left from this very spot in 1608 on his historic voyage to the New World, where he founded the city of Quebec</p>
