The sidecar growls to life on the cobbles of Honfleur and the sea-tinged air pushes past the windshield as the pilot threads the narrow streets toward the Vieux Bassin. In the basket, the landscape unspools—a ribbon of tidal harbor, patchwork orchards and steep, pale cliffs that give way to green bocage. The ride feels immediate: wind, engine, and the occasional crackle of gulls above.
