Dive into the golden age of Normandy's grand hotels with this mortgage bond of the Société d'Entreprises d'Hôtels Trouville Palace, issued in Paris on 1 September 1910. The company, created to operate the prestigious Trouville Palace facing the sea, illustrates the Belle Époque enthusiasm for the seaside resorts of the Côte Fleurie, where the Parisian aristocracy and upper bourgeoisie came to take sea baths.

The certificate, magnificently printed in green on a light background by Charles Skipper & East, features an Art Nouveau border adorned with foliage and elegant cartouches. It is a bearer mortgage bond of 500 francs at 5%, number 1087, part of an issue secured on the company's real estate. Share capital of 9,000,000 francs divided into 90,000 shares of 100 francs. Handwritten signatures of two directors and a dry seal.

Partially legible "CANCELLED" mention and period fiscal stamps. Apparent condition very good, folds and light patina consistent with age. A document sought after by enthusiasts of luxury hospitality, seaside Normandy, and Belle Époque scripophily. A piece bearing witness to the splendor of Trouville before the First World War.
