The Fête de la Mer is a longstanding tradition in Trouville-sur-Mer, dating back to 1933. Originally a blessing of the sea, it has transformed into a notable celebration of ocean life and the culture of local fishermen. This year, festivities unfold on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 August at the Hôtel de Ville car park from 10 AM to 6 PM. Attendees can engage with local associations such as SNSM and the Club Nautique de Trouville-Hennequeville, while exploring exhibitions featuring historic photographs, artistic sea-related creations, and traditional wooden games for children. Highlights include a mackerel rillettes competition and a display of beautifully decorated boats. The event also honors maritime heritage through solemn ceremonies, including a mass, parade, and absolution at sea, commemorating sailors who lost their lives. Comprehensive event details will be posted soon on the Town Hall and Tourist Office websites to keep all attendees informed.
