About this experience
Discover Trouville sur mer and Deauville, these two neighbouring cities. On your canoe, you will glide on the waters of La Touques to reach the port of Trouvilles sur Mer. You will discover its beaches and buildings dating from the Belle Époque (the Art Nouveau Cabue house, now a North West Star hotel and casino, opened in 1875 on the promenade des Planches, ...).
We will tell the best kept secrets of Trouville sur mer and Deauville for an outing of jokes, laughter and fun on the water. Our canoe-kayak tours are provided by two charming guides: Victorian (from the middle land) and Yoann (from Jotunhein), a bit crazy, they will brighten your day with their crazy stories.
