Gare de Trouville-Deauville, Railway station and historical monument in Deauville, France
Gare de Trouville-Deauville is a dead-end railway station in Deauville featuring a large passenger hall with concrete beams, vaulted ceilings, and three gables displaying emblems on its facade. The building marks the terminus of the coastal rail line and sits at 6 meters elevation.
The station opened in 1863 to serve the growing seaside resort traffic in this coastal area. A major redesign by architect Jean Philippot took place in 1931 to accommodate rising passenger numbers.
The passenger hall displays painted canvases created by Louis Houpin in 1932 showing historical scenes from both coastal communities. These artworks tell stories of the towns' past and remain visible to travelers passing through daily.
The station is located on the coastal rail line and is easily accessible on foot from town. Visitors should know this is a terminal station where trains end and reverse direction.
The roof is covered with tiles from Bavent and topped by two different weather vanes. One depicts a ship while the other shows a locomotive with cars, both reflecting the maritime and railway heritage of the region.
