Highlights
  • Casino Barriere Trouville - A casino was built in 1847. Originally, it is not a simple gambling establishment, but a cozy place frequented by an elegant and wealthy clientele. Balls, operettas and plays are regularly held there.

The theater is considered “worthy of the biggest stages”, the acoustics are excellent and the best artistic productions of the time are presented.

The greatest artists and personalities of the high society of the time attend during their holidays, the Laffitte, Vernes, Perrier, Seillière, but also counts and countesses as Pourtualès or Poniatowski.

  • Plage Des Bains - “A monkey in winter”, a film by Henri Verneuil, was shot there during the winter of 1961-1962. Villerville appears there under the name of Tigreville. A local association, created in 2001, perpetuates the memory of the shooting. Since June 2007, a large photo of the film Jean Gabin and Jean-Paul Belmondo, the two stars of the film, has been hanging on a wall at the entrance to the main street. Down this street is the Norman Cabaret, a restaurant used for filming.
  • Chapelle Notre Dame de Grace - The chapel “Notre-Dame de Grâce” was built in 1600-1615 by the citizens and sailors of Honfleur on the site of an old chapel disappeared in a landslide of the cliff. This primitive chapel was founded before the year 1023 by Richard II, then Duke of Normandy, to fulfill a wish made during a storm in which he almost died. Since then, the cult of “Notre-Dame de Grâce” has been perpetuated.

The building is classified as a historical monument in 1938.

  • Panorama Mont-Joli - You will have access to a beautiful panorama and it is worth seeing especially on a sunny day. You will see the basins of the port and the two pylons of the bridge of Normadie connecting Honfleur to Le Havre and just below a good part of the old city with its narrow streets.
  • Le Vieux Bassin - This watershed was created at the instance of Abraham Duquesne and by order of Colbert in 1681.

It replaces the old haven of beaching which was much narrower. These works require the destruction of the western part of the ramparts.

They end in 1684.

Different Type of experience - We had 3 bikes and all the drivers were equally as good as each other, we were able to communicate really well and there local knowledge was excellent. I would recommend this trip for anybody. Our age range was 13 to 67 and all loved the trip even without the sun. The kids loved Terrys driving skills especially the wheelies 😀

So much more than we expected! - Such a fun way to explore the area! Our guide was incredibly kind and thoughtful and informative. The weather wasn’t ideal, but he had rain gear and gloves for us. We’re a couple old ladies and not in great shape, so we weren’t sure how this would go. But he helped us and made us very comfortable. He stopped at several points of interest and explained the history. He picked up on things that were most interesting to us and spent more time on them. We really enjoyed the cider tasting and made some yummy purchases. It’s such a beautiful area - seeing the ocean, and where the Seine empties into it; seeing Honfleur, which is lovely and hasn’t changed much since the Middle Ages.

Extra experience, don’t hesitate! - Superb experience accompanied by “Claude”. Beautiful ride as well as good driving, passionate guide. Small, little-known paths that go well with a side car.
