Is Deauville worth a visit?<\/h2>\n\n

Absolutely! We really enjoyed Deauville. First, there are the famous Les Planches de Deauville<\/strong>, which line the beach. They offer a splendid promenade around the Art-Deco<\/strong> architecture of the Etablissement des Bains de Mer. The cabins are named after some of the biggest stars in American cinema. American Film Festival<\/strong> obliges!<\/p>\n\n

\"Les<\/a><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n

There’s Anglo-Norman Belle \u00c9poque<\/strong> architecture, historic villas and legendary hotels. Unheard-of palaces with elegant reception rooms and hushed corridors. Deauville is also a town where horses<\/strong> play an important role. From training on the beach, to the races at theracecourse<\/strong>, a mythical place where we imagined we’d run into Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n

Deauville is also a city of culture that has inspired the greatest artists<\/strong>: Flaubert, Sagan, Appolinaire, Colette, Boudin, Chanel, L\u00e9ger, Saint-Laurent, Lelouch, Van Dongen… and many others. Today, it is the epicenter of the Planches Contact<\/strong> Festival. An event that supports contemporary creation. And of course, Deauville is a gourmet<\/strong> destination, where we tasted Norman cheeses, Norman sole, scallops and Vall\u00e9e d’Auge chicken…<\/p>\n\n
