Manoir du Désert stands in Honfleur (Calvados), in the Normandie region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). No visits are on record for this building.

Set back from the centre of Honfleur, on the heights overlooking the Seine estuary, the Manoir du Désert stands within a walled agricultural estate. Built at the end of the 15th century by seafaring owners from the Pays d'Auge, it combines a ground floor of chequered flint and stone with a timber-framed upper storey, arranged around a corner stair tower on the main façade. Visitors can also spot maritime graffiti carved into the stone, some of which may depict old ships.
