They open at 8am and go to 8 pm in the evening, but if you want to eat sur place get there by 6. I missed out on the famous 'Jeanette's soupe de poisson' sadly.
If you want the other local cooked specialty like moules et frites, you must go elsewhere to a restaurant or cafe. They don't cook to order at les Halles.
My last lunch in Trouville-sur-mer a Plateau de fruits de mer(about 18€). No melted butter for your lobster provided here, but the most divine seasoned mayonnaise. Miam!
Bringing your own bib is not a bad idea. Or wear old clothes. Bring your own baguette and drinks, water etc. Everyone does. Bread is not served FYI.
I hope you're tempted to take a short trip outside Paris. I can't wait to go back! Thanks for reading Parisbreakfast!
If you liked this post please support it by buying my Paris letters and watercolors. Or pass on some one you think might enjoy it.
I think I love Trouville.
ReplyDeleteEverywhere in Paris that we spotted fresh fish seafood places..the displays were works of art as you show here..Such pride in displaymanship.I know prob.not a word..the nageuse looks so happy in her polka dots.
Your casino is great..I have so much trouble with depths..
My firstt building watercolor since starting the perspective class with Stephanie at Craftsy.
DeleteYou had piqued my curiosity.
Tanks!
Please, please always give us a close up pic of those menu boards so we can read, imagine and drool over the menu offerings. It's how I keep up with prices in France....
ReplyDeleteDear Carol, your temptation featuring Trouville has been delightful.
ReplyDeleteI do love seafood, and don't eat it often enough.
Now, I have a destination that provides both visual and gastronomical treats!
I am going to scroll back to some of your vintage posts about autumn in Paris, and I try to actually plan some travels. Like so many other folks, I am so thankful for your generous posts. xo
Great watercolors and photos, Carol.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting very fond of Normandy! The heaps of seafood look delicious.
I like that vintage poster at the end, too :)
I'm getting very fond of Normandy too.
DeleteSea, fresh air, beaches, and
LOBSTER!!
So beautiful! I will be on river cruise in October, so not likely we can wander over to Trouville. But there is always "next time", right?
ReplyDeleteI feel quite in spirit today; had shrimp in poblano sauce at a sidewalk cafe and then drove by the marina (okay, all this was in Seattle but still...). Otherwise I'd be downright envious of your food-centered posts Yum.
ReplyDeleteI love love love your recommendations!
ReplyDeleteThe photo of your lunch on ice was fabulous.
I am learning so much from you. Wow.
I'm in Maine about to go to Cabbage Island for homard a l'Americaine. Next year maybe Trouville!
ReplyDeleteYou are as awesome as ever Vivian!!
ReplyDeleteSo enjoyed your tour! I'm hungry looking at the fabulous seafood!
