Description
Deauville is one of Normandy’s most sophisticated seaside resorts and has been an elegant retreat for Parisian society and the international elite since the 19th century. The coastal town is known for its wide sandy beach, the famous wooden Les Planches boardwalk with its distinctive parasols and bathing cabins, as well as its grand villas, half-timbered façades and historic luxury hotels. Deauville combines classic French seaside culture with horse racing and polo, the American Film Festival, a historic casino, exclusive boutiques and fine dining. Together with neighbouring Trouville-sur-Mer, Deauville embodies the timeless glamour of the Normandy coast.
