Paris has a whole lot to offer, but if you want to see a different side to French life, simply hop on a train and head to the Trouville-Deauville station at Trouville-sur-Mer in Normandy. The journey lasts just over two hours on board SNCF’s Intercités trains, with a handful of direct services available every day.
The twin towns of Trouville and Deauville sit side by side, looking out over the English Channel, not far from other charming big cities like Le Havre, Caen, and Rouen. Here, you can spend time enjoying the quaint charms of a traditional Normandy fishing village. Need more details? Read on for journey FAQs and train times.

SNCF is the national train operator of France. It operates all domestic trains and routes across France, as well as international services to Spain and Germany. There are three different types of domestic trains that operate under the SNCF banner – TGV (high-speed, full-service trains that connect the major cities in France), Intercités (usually a more frequent stopping service, but with all the amenities), and TER (regional train services with basic onboard facilities).
Most of the train companies across Europe release their tickets around three to six months in advance, many of which can be cheaper the earlier you book. If you know the dates you want to travel, you may be able to find some cheaper train tickets from Paris to Trouville—Deauville by booking early.§
Many of the train services in Europe are also popular commuter services, lots of train companies increase ticket prices during “peak hours” (generally between 06:00 – 10:00 and 15:00 – 19:00 on weekdays). If you can, consider travelling outside of peak hours to find lower priced tickets.
On some of the busier routes, you might also have the option to take a slower or connecting train. It may take a little longer than some high-speed or direct services, but if you have a little extra time on your hands, you might find a cheaper fare. Plus, you'll have more time to enjoy the view of the countryside!
