== Au Trouville ==
Eugene Boudin first visited Trouville (northwestern [[France]]) in 1861 or 1862 and returned there every summer for the rest of his life. In the early nineteenth century Trouville had developed from a quiet fishing port into a fashionable bathing place for the aristocracy and Parisian bourgeoisie, ''la reine des plages'', with grand hotels and a Casino.
