Last day in Trouville-Sur-Mer

 

My last day, Friday, I woke up to a torrential downpour. I had to vacate of my hotel room by 11. I ran to Monoprix buy an umbrella ☂️ 

Naturellement, by 11 the rain stopped and the sun 🌞 came out. A last stroll on the boardwalk seemed a good idea.

Bear is in Cannes

 

Bear 🐻has escaped to Cannes for 3 days for a late summer vacance!🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️The 5 hr direct TGV train was a snap. And not too full which was nice.


I am back again at Hotel Athenée (nothing to do with the Paris Plaza Athenée at all). Instead of the Marilyn room this time I have the Audrey room🤸🏾‍♀️😊

We wandered a bit on rue Antibes..the street for plebeian shopping…remember Repetto, the ballerina shop. Does anyone wear those anymore 👟?

 Ladurée has a cute outdoor cafe in their special pale sea foam green. These chairs look tempting to paint 🎨...should I?

Shops along the Croisette are the traditional  big-name deluxe for visiting celebs.
 
We took the le P’tit train (1hour-12€) first thing to get the lay of the land.

Up to the Old Town/veille ville for a 10-minute spectacular stop.

And then around town. It’s always a good idea to do the tourist train 1st thing. The guide informed us what movie stars stayed at which luxury hotel..major important info bien sur. 

*It was an extremely bumpy ride. Not recommended if you just had hip replacement - have an ambulance waiting. But fun and the accompanying Madonna music and commentary was a plus. 

After we walked around a bit (I am with Carolyn from WA) looking for a divine place for tomorrow’s breakfast. Last visit I went to the
Carlton but sadly they are unser renovation 😕

Then dinner at hotel-recommended Cafe Hoche on rue Hoche. Green tomatoes with buratta + pesto. Plus a ginormous plate of linguine a la vongolo that instantly ruined all the hard regime work of the past few weeks. Back to Audrey green apples 🍏 for me. Fortunately patisserie shops are few in Cannes👏🤸🏾‍♀️ 
Today we are off to Nice or Grasse or Villa Kerylos. Or…your suggestions are most welcome🙏 I got for the trip appropriate Hollywood style Holly Golightly (from Jimmy Fairly) sunglasses + my etsy ‘Audrey’ hoop earrings. Bear and I are back on Friday to realité 💋💋Bisou, bisou Darlings 🐻🥂🍾
