Discovering Normandy's Gem: Mers les Bains 🌊✨
From the moment I set foot in the enchanting seaside town of Mers les Bains in Normandy, it was love at first sight! 💖 Drawn by the vibrant row of 19th-century seaside villas I had seen online, I couldn't resist the allure of a spontaneous getaway—and it did not disappoint. Imagine waking up in one of these charming homes, with the vast sea greeting you at your doorstep, the majestic white cliffs and the English Channel just a glance away. The symphony of seagulls and church bells, paired with the picturesque retro houses, transports you straight into a scene from a medieval film. Truly, it's a living testament to the elegance of the Belle Époque era. 🎬✨ Just a stone's throw away lies the bustling town of Le Tréport, separated only by a river. A short stroll across the train station and river brings you to this lively spot, teeming with pedestrians and a vibrant commercial vibe. 🌟 Hop on a free cable car to the top of the white cliffs for a breathtaking sunset view, or take a leisurely city tour train for just 8 euros. This charming train ride, starting at the tourist center, whisks you through the towns of EU, Le Tréport, and Mers les Bains, offering a delightful and informative journey through the region's highlights. 🚂💫 It's the perfect way to soak in the sights without breaking a sweat! Getting here is a breeze—either a scenic 2.5-hour drive from Paris or a direct train ride from Paris Nord to Mers les Bains. 🚗🚆 And let's talk about the food! Mers les Bains boasts some delightful seaside bars and restaurants, while Le Tréport offers a culinary journey with its array of eateries lining the streets. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you! 🍴😋 Normandy in the summer is a revelation—fewer crowds, stunning landscapes, and a blissful climate. It's a place that keeps calling me back, and I can't wait to return. 💙 #France #FrenchTourism #Normandy #NorthernFrance #NormandyTourism #Vacation #WhatToWearOnVacation #VacationOutfit #BeachPhotography
