Overview
Overview
Its long sandy beach earned then the nickname of "queen of the beaches" ("Reine des plages") or "most beautiful beach in the world". The name of Trouville is frequently associated with the names of the numerous painters that visited it and painted there, especially during the second part of the XIXth century: Claude Monet, Eugène Boudin, Raoul Dufy, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Gustave Caillebotte, Fernand Léger, etc. Trouville remains today a city of leisure and vacation with a casino and numerous festivals, as well as a city of culture (Marcel Proust, Marguerite Duras, Raymond Savignac, etc.). Numerous celebrities own vacation homes in the city: Gérard Depardieu, Antoine de Caunes, Bettina Rheims, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Karl Zéro, etc. Close to Paris and easily accessible by train, Trouville (as well as neighbouring Deauville) earned the nickname of 21st "Arrondissements of Paris".
