Pôle international du Cheval Longines – Deauville + Lobster 🦞

 

On ETSY

The French are always mad about flags flying 

Including Monet when he visited Trouville-sur-mer.

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

I grabbed a flyer the previous weekend. It was on for 4 days and free so why not?

The #112 jitney is next to the train station.

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

Loaded with shops full of  horsy equipment and 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 any other jumping event, 

Usually you’re sitting way back in the stands 

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

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

At the Marché Aux Poisson.

At Coté Mer.

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

It’s nothing like eating Maine lobster 🦞 

Fresh out of the steaming pot. I did miss the corn 🌽 on the cob though…

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