What to see and do in Deauville
To discover Deauville is to immerse yourself in its spellbinding atmosphere.
It means strolling along the famous Planches with the ocean as your horizon, exploring its architecture blending the charm of the Second Empire, the Anglo-Norman style and the remarkable achievements of the 1890s.
It's playing golf, sailing on the Seine Estuary that so inspired Eugène Boudin, watching horse races worthy of Coco Chanel.
Or meet the rising stars of American cinema, or try your luck at the casino in the style of Françoise Sagan.
It's a chance to recharge your batteries at a thalassotherapy session, or simply to relax and dream on the beach with its colorful umbrellas.
STROLL ALONG THE STAGE
It's inconceivable to stay in Deauville without strolling along the famous Promenade des Planches - a must for visitors from all over the world!
On one side, charming five-colored parasols spread across the golden sands, offering welcome shelter on hot summer days; on the other, a series of Art Deco-style beach cabins, forming the remarkable architectural ensemble of the Pompeian Baths.
THE STRASSBURGER VILLA

OVERLOOKING DEAUVILLE AND TROUVILLE FROM A BELVEDERE
Like two obelisks, the belvederes structure the harbour and open a gateway to the sea.
Their vintage architecture, clad in black and white stripes similar to a sailor's jersey, echoes the history of the first lighthouse, built in 1874 and destroyed in the 20th century. Each stands 28 metres tall, watching over Deauville.
