Trouville-sur-Mer, known as the ‘Queen of Beaches’ in the 19th century, is a charming seaside town located in Caen, France. Just a stone’s throw from the more glamorous Deauville, Trouville offers a refined yet understated atmosphere. The town is characterized by its half-timbered buildings and a long, wooden boardwalk that stretches along the sandy shore. Visitors can stroll along the promenade, admire the historic architecture, and enjoy the selection of upmarket hotels and restaurants. It’s a popular destination for Parisians seeking a relaxing beach experience with a touch of elegance.
