Diverse and elegant, Deauville is to be found on the Normandy coast, a lovely sea-side resort that has an array of interesting venues starting with, of course, a beautiful beach. Architecture, shops, an annual film festival that is known throughout the world, a just as well-known race track and casino. These would be few of the things to summarize what you can expect from a holiday home in Normandy in Deauville, topped by the beach atmosphere, the half-timbered houses that color the town, the golf course where you can unwind in an afternoon spent in this sea-side resort. Plus, there are the numerous beach activities, with water sports and sunbathing, with relaxing walks on the sea shore and great restaurants and terraces where you can enjoy French cuisine together with a glass of French wine.
Deauville... the town
A holiday home in Normandy, Deauville is a great way to start creating fabulous new French memories, dotted with the impressive attractions of this town. Thus, starting with the Baroque and Art Nouveau architecture and moving on to the Mairie and the 12 bell chimes next to it that ring every day, La Place Morny that seems to be related to Le Place de L'Etoile in Paris, the central garden and fountains, they all come together to make up the unique character of Deauville. The town is home to a great American film festival in September every year, and it is also known for the equestrian events that are held here. The race track is actually located in a place above the town, so if you decide to spend a day at the races, you'll get a bonus of a magnificent view over Deauville.
Deauville... the beach
The beach in Deauville is very well maintained, with beach umbrellas and beach huts that have been named after American stars that attended the film festival here. They say "the early bird gets the worm", thus if you wake up early one morning on your holiday in Normandy, Deauville, you can get to watch the racehorses train on the beach, and a long walk on the seaside promenade here with the early sea breeze touching your face is more rejuvenating than a cup of coffee. Ok, maybe not having a cup of French coffee in the morning is not the best of ideas, thus you should know that you can do this at one of the many restaurants along the waterfront, where they also serve seafood specialties that you must try while here. The casino is also by the beach, thus if you're feeling lucky, which you most likely will, just because you got to enjoy the beautiful Deauville, you can pay a visit to this well-known attraction as well. The sea, the beach, the culture, the seafood, all make up for a perfect menu of a perfect holiday.
