Le Bac de Trouville Deauville

About

The Le Bac de Trouville‑Deauville is a charming floating link that has connected the two seaside towns of Trouville-sur‑Mer and Deauville since 1889. Operating every five minutes, the ferry offers a quick and scenic transfer across the Touques river, evoking the playful spirit of the “North Venice.” With a modest fare—€1.50 per crossing during high tide and €0.50 during low tide—and an additional €1.50 for bicycles or strollers, it provides an affordable, family‑friendly means to explore either town. The crossing route is accessible from the quay at 14360 Trouville‑sur‑Mer, and the ferry is open year‑round, offering visitors panoramic views of the shoreline and the historic harbor. A short ride of about five minutes is sufficient to capture the essence of this iconic ferry service. Beyond the convenience of the ferry, the journey itself is a highlight: travelers can hop aboard and experience the gentle sway of a traditional wooden catamaran, enjoy fresh sea breezes, and view the picturesque shoreline that frames both towns. Whether you’re a casual visitor, a history enthusiast exploring the region’s maritime heritage, or a couple looking for a romantic transit, the Le Bac provides a memorable and economical experience. The service is especially popular during the spring and autumn months when the weather is mild and the tidal patterns allow for smooth crossings. Its ever‑present schedule ensures that visitors can time their travels conveniently, making La Bac a convenient gate‑keeper between two of Normandy’s most beloved coastal destinations.
