Between delicious cooking, stand-up comedy sets, and offbeat piano-bar nights, Trouville’s Pavillon Augustine is a den of good humor. Waltz in for breakfast, for an afternoon crêpe, or for a lively dinner, and get a good dose of laughter. Every June and December, they organize the Augustine Comedy Club, at which big names in French comedy come to perform. Stay overnight “exactly 53 meters from the Pavillon and 26.4 meters from the sand,” according to owners Mélanie and Arnaud, at the Maison des Humoristes, where three beautiful suites of 45 m2 each bear the names of famous comedians. Privatize Pavillon Augustine any way you want for all types of events, private and corporate. From Monday to Friday, except during school holidays, enjoy appetizers at 5,80 €, mains at 13,90 €, and desserts at 5,90 €, all with a sea view and south-facing terrace. Don’t forget the piano-bar evenings every Saturday until 12:48am “because zany times make people laugh,” says Arnaud, whose spicy replies to TripAdvisor reviews will give you a taste of the larger-than-life ambiance of Pavillon Augustine.
