Commented visit «Trouville-sur-Mer under the occupation» «Trouville-sur-Mer, the queen of the beaches who lost her smile» So we could summarize the state of mind in this June 19, 1940, beginning of four years of occupation by the German troops. Four years when the Trouvillais will face a harsh, austere, oppressive life. As tragic as the events they will experience will be, they will nevertheless keep within them the flame of hope for a near freedom. You will discover during this visit the daily life of Trouvillais and Trouvillaises during this difficult period. Changes in their lifestyle, the establishment of military operations such as Operation Seelowe or the construction of the Atlantic Wall that will transform the face of the beach. We will also evoke the story of those who refused defeat, who rebelled against the occupation, rejected collaboration and took all the risks for the liberation of Trouville-sur-Mer and its surroundings. How the city lived the last months of the occupation, mixing new hope and extreme caution, until the long-awaited day of the Liberation of August 24, 1944. Finally, how Trouville-sur-Mer will recover from all these events and what traces remain today of this troubled period of our history. It is all these stories that will be told during this visit so that this less known period in the history of Trouville-sur-Mer and the people who lived it are not forgotten.
