“IT’S A CITY I LOVE”
Here, I lived my childhood, adolescence, adult life and now family life. All these years have allowed me to discover a little more of this peaceful and pretty seaside resort. I know it almost by heart, in every nook and cranny. Trouville-sur-Mer, a source of inspiration for many artists, is discovered little by little, around the streets of the city center. Open your eyes too and let yourself be surprised by the works drawn on the walls. From Raymond Savignac to young street artists: posters, paintings and portraits await you. So many messages left that lead us towards hope, love, the future. I also like to stroll on the beach, wander between casinos, villas, palaces and hotels... and rediscover the authenticity of the early days of the Belle Époque, of the very first seaside resort celebrated by artists. Trouville-sur-Mer is also fishing for grey shrimp, mackerel, scallops and sole. Won over by the euphoria of sea bathing in the 19th century, the city has not renounced its traditions, as evidenced today by the famous fish market, an emblematic place, symbol of its history resolutely turned towards the sea.

MY MOST BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY…
Trouville-sur-Mer is a source of daily inspiration with such a special atmosphere. My ideal day is to enjoy a pastry on a terrace, to buy seafood from our fishermen or from the fish market, to stroll on the promenade des planches along the seaside villas of the 19th century and to savor the warm colors of our different sunsets.

MY WELL-BEING SPACE
Trouville-sur-Mer is the ideal place to recharge your batteries after a day of work or on the weekend. In spring, summer or even autumn, as soon as the sun gives me the opportunity, I like to enjoy the seaside terraces with friends, for a drink or dinner with my feet in the sand. The mixture of the hubbub of life, children on the beach and the calm, the serenity of the sea gives the feeling of being on holiday all year round. In Trouville-sur-Mer you can live life at 100 miles an hour and recharge your batteries in the blink of an eye.

A TROUVILLAISE RECIPE (FOR HAPPINESS?)
- Cross the bridge and arrive at Trouville-sur-Mer.
- Walk along the quays, the port, the beach along the boards, to finally discover the Villa Montebello museum.
- Sit on the bench in the garden and contemplate!
- Observe the old Roches Noires hotel.
- Take a leap into the past, imagine yourself in a crinoline with an umbrella... Hey? Here's Marcel Proust wandering around looking for who knows what... And further on, Claude Monet and Eugène Boudin are deep in conversation...
- Chatting literature with Marguerite Duras, because reading is life!
- Let your mind wander, listen to the laughter coming from the beach, breathe…
- Enter the museum, discover 19th century seaside art, dream of wearing the swimsuits of the time, just to see!
- Finally, leaving this bubble feeling like you've gone back in time, realizing that you still have your Converse on your feet and your phone in your hand.
- Take one or thousands of photos.
It’s definitely 2022!
