Deauville

The landscape around Deauville is a low, sandy reach of Normandy’s Côte Fleurie on the English Channel, which has shaped both the town’s plan and local economy. Developed as a resort in the 1860s under the patronage of the Duke of Morny, it pairs a long beach and the Les Planches seafront promenade with grand hotels, villas and the Deauville-La Touques racecourse. Thoroughbred sales and racing remain part of its identity, while the Deauville American Film Festival, held annually since 1975, brings an international cultural fixture to the coast.
