Hello dear travel lovers. As we continued our Normandy trip, we stopped by Deauville. Here again there is a little wordplay, just like in Honfleur. And this wordplay actually explains the meaning of the town quite well. First we arrived at the train station called Gare de Trouville-Deauville. In French "ville" means city. On our right was Trouville. It can be translated into English as something like real city. And that is actually correct. This place has existed for several centuries and in recent years it has been living almost entirely on tourism, a classic seaside resort town.

I can describe this experience as totally wonderful and out of this world, in which I was thrilled at every step I took, because I lived it as if I had entered the world of dreams, but of those dreams where you are left with your mouth open with the surprise of what you see and hear and with your eyes so big in front of so much splendour that it was impossible to close them.

A few months ago, I visited Barigui Park for the first time, one of the most famous parks here in Curitiba, and I was truly amazed by this place. It's not just a park, but also a recreational space where large events are held, and it's home to wildlife, including the iconic capybaras that live there and are part of the landscape.
