A stay with character? Trouville-sur-Mer knows how to do it. Whether it's your first weekend or your umpteenth week, the Queen of Beaches has some ideas to help you (re)discover its must-see attractions. On the Promenade des Planches or facing a wall of street art, the town never does the seen (and seen again) – or the look-at-me – but rather the never-seen. Enough to amaze you!
6 must-haves that will make you love ticking boxes
The art of being free in Trouville-sur-Mer also means being able to visit the city as we please. But to avoid going around in circles, it's best to have a curated list. Luckily, we've put together a top 6 of our favorite spots for a first outing on the Côte Fleurie. Let's go!
1 – from father to wires fish
On the Côte Fleurie, we know how to stay in shape. The secret? A trip on Harbour of Trouville-sur-Mer. Along the quays, we love watching the fishermen return from their expeditions and rush to find the big prize upon landing. Don't forget to stop by the fish market to top up your basket or enjoy a treat on the spot.
2 – Shores & Ravages
In Trouville-sur-Mer, the beach is wreaking havoc. Do you hear it? The waves gently caress the sand. Do you see it? The Normandy villas stand proudly facing the English Channel. Do you smell it? The salty sea spray tickles your nose. There's no doubt about it: here, the beach has all the makings of a sensory journey... and a sensational one!
3 – spray (acrylic)
Trouville-sur-Mer, an artist in spite of itself? We would rather say rebel museAnd since we must give credit where credit is due to these arts, we will evoke here all these great names who have left their mark – and it is indeed the case to say so – on our beautiful territory. Starting with Charles Mozin and his watercolors of moving realism. Or even Miss.Tic and her resolutely feminist stencils. Cult!
4 – a swim in the jacuzzi, that’s it use bubble
On the Côte Fleurie, a successful stay wouldn't be complete without a hot tub. Nothing on the agenda today? Perfect. It's time to schedule an appointment at Spa of the Cures Marines of Trouville-sur-Mer. Goal: Test the massage, sauna, and hammam combo. Phone rings? You can't, you have a spa!
5 – jackpot!
If there is one legendary spot in Trouville-sur-Mer, it is the Barrier CasinoSince 1912, this Durville-designed building has brought together card enthusiasts around a poker table and those who linger over the card around a gourmet table. Not to mention dinner shows and bingo sessions in a retro atmosphere. Bingo!
6 – “the sea village”
Although its name may be confusing, Trouville-sur-Mer does not see itself as a town, but rather as a village…which is wreaking havoc. And for good reason! Despite its meteoric rise, the Queen of Beaches has managed to retain that certain authenticity that makes it a typical village. Rather than getting too analytical, we invite you to stroll along the Savignac promenade. You'll see, the charm is immediate.
Dance Material life, Marguerite Duras writes:
I see Trouville as a village, I call it the village of the sea.
And we couldn't have said it better ourselves!
