Built upon a few acres of marshland and dunes in Calvados 150 years ago, Deauville is today one of the most memorable seaside resorts in Normandy. It’s an international centre for horses with its two racecourses and range of prestigious international races, training centre for 300 horses, national steeplechase competition, international polo championship and 75 stud farms in the surrounding area. Deauville is also a seriously arty town, home to or associated with numerous artists, fashion designers, photographers and filmmakers, all inspired and influenced by the sea, the light and the special atmosphere.

Culturally, the Easter Music Festival has become a renowned meeting place of new-generation musicians and the book show ‘Literature & Music’ is the highlight of Deauville’s literary life each May, focusing on books inspired by music. The immense sandy beach in Deauville is dotted with multi-coloured parasols where children and adults alike can have fun – throwing balls, flying kites, making sandcastles or just relaxing. There are four fabulous golf courses here too. Deauville’s shops satisfy all passions for shopping and, come nightfall, the town is all illuminated: its casino blazes with a thousand lights, and after an excellent dinner, why not visit one of the numerous bars and nightclubs?
