Port de Camaret, 1872.
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.
