Walk in Trouville-sur-Mer in Normandy

A walk to discover the charms of Trouville located next to Deauville.

Trouville is a seaside resort located in Normandy, it is separated from Deauville only by a small river La Touques. The visit of Trouville is quite simple, all the activity being along the docks and the beach. Do not hesitate to walk along the sea and to stroll on the quays on market days. It should be noted that Trouville is less chic than Deauville. You can couple the visit of Trouville with the one of Deauville on a weekend. Have a nice visit.
