Au Trou Normand (French Restaurant, First Location) [1964-c.1982]

Submitted by Klaus on

SCMP reported in 2003: Founded by a former French paratrooper, Bernard Vigneau, in 1964, the 60-seat restaurant was a slice of Europe in Tsim Sha Tsui. 

Update after moddsey's comment below.

The restaurant was located at 6 Hankow Road (inside the Keystone House, possibly until c.1982 when Keystone House was demolished).

It later moved to 4B-6H Carnarvon Road.

Hong Kong, French Connections

Submitted by fdremeaux on

 

Numerous French citizens, many anonymous, some famous, have explored every corner of Hong Kong, leaving on it their mark and their memories. Diplomats’ reports, missionaries’ chronicles, businessmen’s stories and artists’ works, so many captivating memories gathered together for the first time.

By means of modest moments from people’s lives, precious accounts previously unpublished, “Hong Kong, French connections” paints an impressionist picture of a city always on the move.
