Built around 1890, we don’t know yet if the house was originally constructed as a Hotel or was a private residence. All we could find out, was that it was known as the „Hotel de la Mer“ and then mutated into an Apartment-Hotel that carried several Names in the past, such as „Villa Madeleine André“ and „Villa MGM“, now known as “TOWNHOUSE TROUVILLE”.
Normandy, and especially the “Côte Fleurie“, was very famous already in the 18th century, when Europe’s first influencers invented the baths in the sea.
More than two centuries ago, a 19-year-old, Maria Carolina, Princess of Bourbon-Two Siciliies and Duchess of Berry, walked into the sea for the first time at Dieppe in France. Since then, the French town of Dieppe claims to have invented the beach life.
In the 19th century, Trouville-sur-Mer was named „The Queen of The Beaches“, the jewel of them all.
