On ETSY |
it’s not a bad idea to print it out in the station using the code, if you worry about losing your iPad or needing to recharge etc.
For more of those delish Strawberries 🍓 called ‘Favori’ from MAISON FREDERIC.
So you know where I’ll be heading every weekend ☺️ ❤️🍓
The Deauville parasols are so yummy
Le Bac de Deauville. It takes you over to Trouville (1,80€) in like 3 minutes and saves walking back to the train station and over the bridge.
In Trouville, first things first. I went looking for the wonderful Camembert ice cream,
I had 2 years ago. “Yes, we had it 2 years ago…but no more”. I settled for Black sesame but it wasn’t the same. When in Normandy you must eat Camembert.
At the Marché de Poissoniere.
Instead I trudged up the hill to le Musée Villa Montebello to look at old paintings of fisherman and fishing boats. There is a big Fete de la Mer next weekend celebrating the fishing boats.
Proust spent summers in the beach-side resort of Trouville-sur-mer.
For the essential moule marinière (17€) at Chez Péppy’s, one of a million similar places on the boardwalk but the view was sensational 🏖️
One more ice cream cone 🍦 & I dragged myself to the train & slept the whole way 😴
I’m going back next Saturday for more berries 🍓 and beach painting.

As if France needs more tourists, I think the Tourism Board of France should hire you. Yes, I want to go to Normandy just for the strawberries alone. Your pictures and yummy captions make one want to immediately book their airfare.
ReplyDeleteYES, Please do tell them. I would like ‘carte blanche’ in Trouville/Deauville very much ❤️🍓🦞
DeleteThankyou for your posts Carol. Illness prevents us from travelling to France again but I look forward to your photos and comments which keep the connection alive.
DeleteLove the cabanas and strawberries 🍓! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'll be in Rouen in three weeks! Can't wait to try the strawberries, camembert and the seafood - yum! Thank you for introducing the favori :) I'll look out for them!
ReplyDeleteYou can easily get to Trouville 🚊 from Rouen. I Will go that route next Saturday since I can’t get there directly from Paris
DeleteTrouville...Now where else had I heard about Trouville? Ah!!! À la Recherche du Temps Perdu! Trouville was one of Marcele Proust's favorite resorts. À l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs.
ReplyDeleteExactly both Proust and Flaubert went there along with painters Monet, Eugene Boudin.

ReplyDeleteI am very happy to oblige Bonnie ☺️🍓❤️
DeleteoH, Carol, WONDERFUL!! SO FULL OF LIFE, "REAL" LIFE!! America has been Iin a sad place these days, many of us too worried about the politics. I for sure needed a shot from the WORLD OF EUROPEAN TREATS AND HAPPINESS. Indeed we are all in this LIFE TOGETHER. You give me HOPE and COURAGE. THANK YOU. 🐻❤️ Carla
ReplyDeleteI forgot how the sand is a pain in the ass. Lynne

DeleteNot sure how you might get there without a car, but I think you would like the Haras du Pin!

I simply adore Normandy. Thanks Carol for the interesting tour guide of Deauville-Trouville. It is indeed a must-go place for summers. Merci. Isabelle
ReplyDeleteCarol, your life is extroardinary…. This post in particular was thrilling and spontaneous and so rich with color and contrast and FOOD! You’re an original and I sure wish we could meet up for cafe and croissant at that wonderful flower shop/cafe on R du Bac! T’embrasse tres fort!
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun visit Alaina ☕️
DeleteReading your blog post and seeing your photos made me feel like I was right there with you in Trouville/Deauville! It looks like such a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of Paris. I love your paintings and sketches of the people on the beach, so full of life <3 And I’m glad to see the Strawberry Man was there! Moules marinières are my favourite too. Great tip about printing out the ticket in case your phone battery dies, so easy for that to happen after a full day out! Xx
ReplyDeleteI wish you were there too SOLLI dear ❤️
DeleteIt is a fun place to visit ☺️ 🍓 🦞
Oh, those strawberries and moules.Makes me really hungry.
ReplyDeleteYes, both such simple, satisfying foods.
DeleteI wish I hadn’t gotten any ice creams 🍦 🍦 but monkey see, monkey do 🙄
Thank you - another fabulous day trip!
