Trouville and Deauville share their
gare SNCF
and
gare routière
, in between the two just south of the marina. Each day, seven of the hourly buses from Caen continue along the coast to Honfleur. Visits to the
tourist office
on place de la Mairie in Deauville (Mon-Sat 9am-12.30pm & 2-6.30pm, Sun 11am-4pm; tel 02.31.14.40.00,
www.deauville.org
), or the one at 32 quai F. Moureaux in Trouville (April-June, Sept & Oct Mon-Sat 9.30am-noon & 2-6.30pm, Sun 10.30am-12.30pm; July & Aug Mon-Sat 9.30am-7pm, Sun 10am-4pm; rest of year Mon-Sat 9.30am-noon & 2-6pm, Sun 10.30am-12.30pm; tel 02.31.14.60.70,
ot.trouville@wanadoo.fr
), are repaid with the usual lavish brochures.
A good place to
eat
in Deauville is
Chez Miocque
at 81 rue Eugène-Colas (tel 02.31.88.09.52), a top-quality Parisian-style bistro with prices that are high but not outrageous. Trouville has some good fish restaurants including
Les Vapeurs
, opposite the attractive old half-timbered fish market at 160 bd F. Moureaux (tel 02.31.88.15.24), and
La Petite Auberge
, 7 rue Carnot (tel 02.31.88.11.07; closed Tues & Wed in winter), though both get very crowded at weekends.
Deauville's
American Film Festival
, held in the first week of September, is the antithesis of Cannes, with public admission to a wide selection of previews.
