Trouville-sur-Mer
Located a quick 10-minute drive across the Touques river, Trouville-sur-Mer is a seaside resort with a very different ambience to Deauville. Still a thriving fishing village, the seafood restaurants here are a major draw. While Deauville has historically attracted the rich and famous, Trouville-sur-Mer was popular with the more reflective types, such as artists and writers, like Courbet and Proust. But there are also many parallels between the two destinations, with Trouville also featuring many grand villas, hotels and even a casino.
Wander along the promenade and take in the picturesque harbour and impressive architecture. Also be sure to stop at one of the town’s food markets, and find out more about local history at the Musée de Trouville.
Honfleur
The pretty town of Honfleur is just a 25-minute drive from Deauville. The harbour is the main feature here with impressive historic houses and boats reflecting beautifully on the water. Many famous artists have been inspired by this scene over the centuries, including Monet. The ancient port here dates back to Norman times.
Top sights to visit in Honfleur include the Church of Saint-Etienne, the Normandy Cultural Museum and the Notre Dame de Grâce – one of the oldest sanctuary chapels, founded by Richard II in the 17th century.
