Trouville-sur-Mer, located in Normandy on the Côte Fleurie, is a historic seaside resort that boasts a distinct and more authentic charm compared to its neighbour, Deauville. Known for its wide sandy beach, the picturesque seaside promenade with its vintage beach huts, and the lively fish market, Trouville embodies the discreet elegance of the Norman coast. It has long been a haven for artists and writers, maintaining a culturally rich and relaxed atmosphere.
