To Trouville-sur-mer

 I left the house at 6:02 Two of my 3 alarms went off at 5:00 am 👏

I am on ze Metro ligne 7 at 6:14 am

A quick change at Pyramid to ligne 14

My Train for Trouville sur mer is 7:27 I’m back in Paris on Friday.

at Gare St-Lazar

The very same train station Claude Monet sketched.

And painted. In January 1877 Monet rented a small flat & studio near Gare St-Lazare. In the third Impressionist exhibition which opened in April of that year, he exhibited 7 canvases of the railway station.

I always buy a pack of madeleines at the Relay comme d’hab before a trip. A lucky 🍀 token…

Boarding the Normandie trains is always at the back near the big map.

Woo woo Boarding time (always 20 min before departure)

All aboard! 

I have one of those seats all the way in the back on the upper level 🙄

Food for the trip: Always a boiled egg, my new Monop water bottle + les madeleines 

Bonjour Normandie 👋

Not as glamorous as pictures in MAISONS NORMANDIE I bought at the Relay in the train station.

Voila!

Another view of the Gare de Trouville - Deauville from a 20s train poster. Trouville is off to the left over the bridge.

There is a big marché 

On today in Trouville

Maybe a coffee?

A quick look at les Poissonieres Yum Yum

Then the Village Gypsy for rhubarbe clafoutis.
