About Deauville
The most elegant resort on the Normandy coast, Deauville has been the seaside retreat of Parisian high society since the 19th century, a byword for refinement, horses and cinema. Its wide beach is bordered by the famous boardwalk, Les Planches, lined with colourful parasols and beach cabins bearing the names of the film stars who attend its celebrated American Film Festival each September. Behind the seafront rise grand Belle Époque and half-timbered villas, luxury hotels, a casino and a marina, while the town's racecourses and polo grounds make it a capital of the equestrian world. Sophisticated, stylish and steeped in a golden age of leisure, wrapped in the green countryside of the Pays d'Auge, Deauville remains the quintessence of the chic French seaside and one of the most fashionable resorts in the country.
