Trouville
Trouville is on the Normandy coast to the east of Honfleur and next to Deauville (which lies on the other bank of the Touques river. Its full name is Trouville-sur-Mer.
Although it has a history dating back several hundred years, the town has grown and developed essentially as a seaside resort over the last century, although there is still an active and pretty fishing port.
Trouville was one of the earliest seaside resorts when the 'new craze' for sea bathing took hold towards the end of the 19th century. Much of the architecture of the grand houses and hotels dates from this period. The town is now a lively and popular holiday destination, with an attractive large clean beach.
You will find all that you expect when you visit - a pleasant wooden promenade behind the beach; plenty of sea food restaurants (moules frites a speciality); a casino; 'amusements' etc.
As well as the inevitable sea-based activities and sports, horseriding and golf are also popular activities with those visiting Trouville-sur-Mer. There are also a couple of marked trails into the surrounding countryside when you need to escape from the bustle for a while.
And if the sea is a bit too cool for you, the town has large heated pools near the beach (indoors and outdoors) that will make sure the children still have a great time.
Market day is Wednesday and Sunday mornings, and the fish market is open every day.
