Port Saint-Etienne is close to St. Catherine's Church, built almost entirely of wood, mainly oak, and is considered the largest wooden church in France. Master craftsmen only use axes and no saws are allowed to build, while there are many people fishing in the port, which is very lively in the evening.

Port Saint-Etienne is close to St. Catherine's Church, built almost entirely of wood, mainly oak, and is considered the largest wooden church in France. Master craftsmen only use axes and no saws are allowed to build, while there are many people fishing in the port, which is very lively in the evening.
The port of Saint-Etienne is the outlet of Onfleur. The port's ships come in and out, showing a beautiful and serene Normandy scenery. There are many well-preserved old buildings on the old streets on the shore of Saint-Etienne. The church of Saint-Etienne, built between the 13th and 14th centuries, is now the Maritime Museum and is worth visiting. The collection includes shipbuilding tools, processes and models, ancient navigational maps, and so on, which vividly introduces the long history of navigation and marine culture of Onfleur. The museum of ethnology and folk art is also worth a visit.
At dusk, the port looked like an oil painting.
