Trouville

"One of the most popular of all the modern French watering-places. During the season it accommodates at least 20,000 visitors at a time, and as many as 120,000 visitors in a season. The town has no historical attractions, being entirely modern, but contains numerous handsome private villas. The Casino is open from July 1st to September 1st, and is thronged by all the fashion of Paris; in the season three toilets per day are de rigueur for ladies. The beach is of sand, and the small bathing sheds are drawn down to the edge of the sea. Admission to casino, 2f. to 3f. per day, according to the month, August to September being the height of the season. Concerts are given daily, theatrical performances twice a week, and a ball on Sundays. By the Promenade Pier is a small casino and club called the Eden, where concerts take place on the terrace; admission from 1f."
