Pôle international du Cheval Longines – Deauville + Lobster 🦞

 

On ETSY

The French 🇫🇷 are mad about flags flying 

Including Monet, when he visited Trouville-sur-mer.

Last Thursday I ran 🏃‍♂️ to see LONGINES Deauville Jump.

I grabbed a flyer last weekend. It was on for 4 days & free so why not?

The #112 jitney is next to the train station.

There were tons of flags representing the countries competing just like at LONGINES Eiffel Jumping.

Loaded with shops full of  horsy equipment & paraphernalia including Hermès. 

Opening day was quite busy. Even Yosemite showed up.

What was unique about LONGINES Deauville

Was you could get

Really close 

To the jumping!

A spectacular experience I never had at other jumping events, 

Usually you’re sitting back in the stands and the horses 🐎 are like dots.

After a couple hours in hot sun 🌞 I headed back to Trouville for some lunch. Fortunately the jitney showed up 🙏

I remembered seeing ready-cooked lobster 🦞 for 30€ last weekend ❤️❤️❤️

At the Marché Aux Poisson.

At Coté Mer.

You pay an extra 5€ & they prepare it. You can sit there happily cracking claws.

But it’s nothing like eating Maine lobster 🦞 

Fresh out of the steaming pot. Where is the corn 🌽 on the cob…

Still yummy. A very jolly time comme d’habitude in Trouville/Deauville.
