What to do in Trouville-sur-Mer town centre
The beach and water sports
Nicknamed the "Queen of Beaches" since the Second Empire, the wide beach at Trouville-sur-Mer rolls out its carpet of fine sand over more than 1,200 metres. Lovers of marine sensations will be delighted by the Club Nautique de Trouville-Hennequeville, which offers a host of dynamic activities including windsurfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, sand yachting and catamaran sailing.
For families, the beach is a veritable playground with its seawater swimming pool, children's clubs and supervised swimming areas. The more contemplative will appreciate the boardwalk, lined with colourful cabins, perfect for admiring the ballet of sailing boats on the horizon.
The fish market and shops
In the heart of the town, the famous fish market, listed as a Historic Monument since 1991, invites you to enjoy an authentic gastronomic experience. Every day, its nine fishmongers offer freshly landed products: sole, Trouville mackerel, prawns and scallops, depending on the season. Tasting on the spot, in front of the colourful stalls, offers a unique moment of conviviality.
Along the Boulevard Fernand Moureaux, traditional boutiques and shops with character bring the town centre to life. From local craftsmen to fashion boutiques and delicatessens selling Normandy specialities, every shop window tells a story. On Wednesdays and Sundays, the traditional market stretches from the Pont des Belges to the Halle aux poissons, creating a gourmet stroll that is particularly popular with holidaymakers.
Casino and leisure activities
Facing the sea, the majestic Casino Barrière in Trouville-sur-Mer displays its Belle Époque architecture over more than 6,500 m². This century-old institution offers a complete entertainment experience with its 240 slot machines, traditional gaming tables and electronic English roulette.

What to do in the Trouville area
Deauville, the sister city
Separated from Trouville-sur-Mer by the river Touques, Deauville is distinguished by its chic, sophisticated atmosphere, while sharing with its neighbour the same attraction for the sea, leisure activities and the art of beachside living. The pedestrian ferry linking the two shores makes it easy to move from the chic world of Deauville to the friendly atmosphere of Trouville, making this pairing a unique digest of the Côte Fleurie.
Known for its legendary beaches, its Art Deco cabins named after film stars and its American Film Festival, Deauville is the epitome of French refinement. Its majestic casino, stately town hall, palaces (such as the Normandy) and luxury boutiques make it a prestigious seaside resort, often dubbed 'the 21st arrondissement of Paris'.
What's the difference between Deauville and Trouville?
Unlike Deauville, Trouville has an authentic feel, with a busy fishing port, fish market and Belle Époque villas. More popular and family-friendly, it attracts those in search of simplicity and old-world charm.
Despite their differences, the two towns have a number of things in common: a sandy beach, a Barrière casino, a remarkable architectural heritage and a seafront promenade.
The treasures of the Côte Fleurie, in the department of Calvados
The Côte Fleurie reveals its charms beyond the Deauville-Trouville duo:
Honfleur is famous for its Vieux Bassin, a picturesque harbour surrounded by narrow houses with slate-covered facades dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. This enchanting setting has inspired many painters, including Eugène Boudin, Claude Monet and Johan Barthold Jongkind, the precursors of Impressionism. The Musée Eugène-Boudin exhibits a rich collection of works by these artists, testifying to the artistic effervescence of the region in the 19th century.
The Vaches Noires cliffs: a geological treasure trove
Between Villers-sur-Mer and Houlgate, the Vaches Noires cliffs stretch for around 4.5 kilometres and reach heights of over 100 metres. Formed around 160 million years ago, they are made up of marl and limestone dating from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The site is renowned for its wealth of fossils, including ammonites, sea urchins, plesiosaurs and even dinosaur remains. Guided tours are organised to discover this exceptional heritage.
Cabourg: Belle Époque elegance and Proustian memories
In Cabourg, Belle Époque villas line a 3.6-kilometre seafront promenade, offering breathtaking views of the English Channel. This promenade, one of the longest in Europe reserved for pedestrians, evokes the refined atmosphere of the early 20th century. The writer Marcel Proust was a regular visitor here, and was inspired to create the fictional seaside resort of Balbec in his work In Search of Lost Time.
