Deauville (Normandie)

On the Normandy coast, in the Calvados region, Deauville is one of France's most prestigious resorts, just 2 hours from Paris. Nicknamed the “21st arrondissement of Paris”, this renowned seaside resort attracts visitors from the four corners of the globe, won over by its refinement and period charm.

Once a small farming village, Deauville underwent a major metamorphosis in 1858 thanks to the Duc de Morny, half-brother of Napoleon III, who fell under the spell of the place. Together with a number of associates, they created an elegant, upmarket seaside resort. Deauville has been a popular destination ever since, renowned for its dream setting, horse racing and international events such as the American Film Festival and the Golden Polo Cup.

Strolling through Deauville, you'll be amazed by the exceptional buildings that tell the story of this seaside resort. Among its treasures are its villas, the most famous of which are the Villa Strassburger, designed by Baron de Rothschild, and the Villa La Breloque, designed by Impressionist painter Eugène Boudin. The iconic Promenade des Planches has been trodden by stars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford and Morgan Freeman. Other highlights include the Deauville-La Touques racecourse, created by the Duc de Morny, the Les Franciscaines cultural center and the Casino, with its impressive Empire facade.

With almost 30 parks and gardens and 2 km of beaches, Deauville is an ideal place to enjoy the pleasures of nature, indulge in a sporting activity or just relax. Nearby, you can observe a rich biodiversity at the Marais de Blonville-Villers or admire a geological curiosity at the Falaises des Vaches Noires. Deauville is also a lively town all year round, with its many restaurants, designer boutiques, two racecourses, casino and myriad sporting and cultural events.
