The only hotel set directly on Trouville’s boardwalk, Hôtel Flaubert is a seaside retreat where every stay becomes an enchanted interlude. With 31 rooms and suites, it offers a warm yet refined haven where time seems to stand still. Founded in 1936 by architect René Morin, its neo-Norman style blends harmoniously into the coastline. Reimagined by Natalia Megret, the decor mixes vintage finds and contemporary touches, creating a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. From the moment you arrive, nostalgia and poetry fill the air. Yellow oilskins invite seaside strolls, beach toys await young guests, and a literary bar lets readers drift with the tides. «Everything is designed to make guests feel at home, as if returning to a beloved seaside house» says general manager Renaud Magnoux. Taken over in 2021 by Pierre-Antoine Capton and Jean-Philippe Cartier, Hôtel Flaubert is more than a stay: it is an invitation to escape. Gustave Flaubert himself would have cherished its discreet charm and understated luxury, where the mind drifts as freely as the waves. Each year, the Prix Flaubert honors literature, reminding us that the most beautiful journeys are often found between the lines of a novel.
