When I was a child growing up in New York my family escaped the hot city summers by going to the Jersey shore where I spent hours on end at the beach every day swimming, body surfing, and playing in the sand. I moved to Paris 10 years ago and discovered the charming seaside town of Trouville as my go to place to escape Paris for some R&R. When I visited Trouville last summer, a reminiscent wave came over me as I ambled around the quaint town and experienced childhood memories again seeing shops selling beach toys, floats, and rafts, ice cream and custard stands with oversized signs with three foot high ice cream cones and big grills with the pungent smell of sausages. 53

Except this version of the Jersey shore was different, slightly elevated with salted butter caramels replacing salt water taffy, crepes replacing silver dollar pancakes, piles of steamed mussels steeped in white wine brimming over pots replaced hot dogs and hamburgers and rosĂŠ wine replacing mugs of beer.

56


The extra wide, sandy beach in Trouville – a ten minute walk to the water- was also reminiscent of the Jersey shore as was the water, a murky green color. My fondest memory of the Trouville beach was the bold wide striped canvas cabanas lining the beach. The vivid colors of sunshine yellow, strawberry red, Royal blue, and sea green made a lasting impression. Of course I immediately rented a cabana for the day and relaxed in an old fashioned wooden and canvas hammock chair, enjoying the beach but staying cool under the shade of my new striped abode. 57
