Dr. Dr., but also a person is not very simple, except for medical practice, the doctor was passionate about the gambling business. In a small town, Dr. opened the little, but his own casino. Casino, unfortunately, did not use the doctor, great popularity. At that time, only poor fishermen lived in the proud, and the place was not attractive for wealthy bourgeois. In principle, the outstand, what to look for.
The duke arrived in Trouville, looked around and made the decision that Dovilie did he like more, the more so then it is necessary to go over the bridge over the river Tuk, 5 minutes and you are in Deauville.
And it does not surprise. After all, there is an old, popular in those days, French is not very decent, joke. Rich bourgeois kept their wives in Deauville, and their mistresses in Podville.
Duke de Morney, fascinated by the silence, sea air, repulsive streets and empty beaches can not cope with its vital energy and inborn enterprise. If the doctor prescribed, it means that it is necessary to establish a seaside fashion resort.
