The small Normandy port of Trouville-sur-Mer is shining a new glow since the embellishment of its seaside promenade, the reopening of the Cures Marines, the opening of new attractive addresses and the lively atmosphere of its main pedestrian alley, the rue des Bains
Eternal source of inspiration, this Norman jewel is adopted in the course of wanderings and strolls, as if crystallized in another era, for a memorable escapade.
Restoring the beauty of a seaside legend
Imagine Flaubert, Proust, Maupassant or Marguerite Duras strolling on the planks that line the beach of Trouvillaise to dive into a deliciously artistic atmosphere... In the Belle-Epoque, the "Bain" was a real ritual in Trouville and the whole of Paris came to "receive the wave" at rising tide. The fashion for sea bathing is launched and sees painters coming in the wake of summer visitors.
Before the summer, the municipality did everything possible to restore the beach and its azobe boards, an African essence capable of resisting all weather conditions. An underground car park, just in front of the casino, has also been set up, offering an unobstructed view of the building and its views over the Channel.
New Wave
The seaside resort of Trouville, nicknamed the "Queen of Beaches" in the 19th century, is returning to the splendour of its past with the opening, in April 2015, of a 5-star hotel under the MGallery banner (Accor Group) and prestigious marine cures. This establishment wants to revive the style of the palaces of yesteryear while offering modern luxury and comfort. A luxurious cocoon, decorated by the talented architect Jean-Philippe Nuel, who notably rehabilitated the famous Molitor swimming pool in Paris
103 rooms including 7 suites in the huge neo-classical building, also equipped with a 2,500 m2 Thalassa Sea & Spa Institute where guests are invited to rest in a sumptuous decor full of images of yesteryear. A great opportunity to reunite body and mind, all in a glamorous and chic atmosphere.
Rue des Bains, the lively shopping street
Opposite the superb Fish Market hall, listed since 1991, the rue des Bains leads to the Place Tivoli where the church of Notre Dame de Bonsecours (1883) stands. Dozens of shops are on display: a dairy, a biscuit factory, a bookshop, a children's painting workshop, an antique shop... Some of them remain unchanged, such as the wine cellar founded in 1828 where you will find excellent old calvados; others are brand new, such as the wine bar "Les Etiquettes" and the concept store "Villa Gipsy" which offers decorative objects found all over the world as well as a few tables where you can enjoy delicious home cooking
A link between the fishermen's quarter and the bathers' quarter, the rue des Bains is a good example of the seaside and marks the return of customers to small shops. Rejoicing
