Yacht charter
Last updated on 8 April 2025
Deauville, the star of the Côte Fleurie, is unlike any other place in Normandy. The colorful parasols adorning the sandy beaches, the historic buildings, the cafés and restaurants have quickly made this charming seaside resort in Calvados a respected and unmissable destination. Here is an overview of Deauville's most beautiful attractions.
The meeting place for luxury lovers
The point of call for yachtsmen along the Normandy coast on their return from the summer, the seaside resort of Deauville appears as a refined city of elegant leisure activities. Internationally renowned, Deauville knows how to welcome and amaze its visitors with its 653-meter promenade offering a magnificent view of its beaches punctuated by multicolored umbrellas overlooking a sparkling sea. A spectacle not to be missed, particularly during the American film festival, when the great American stars of the 7th art come to tread the soil of Deauville to the delight of the tourists.
Its luxury hotels, its racecourses attracting punters from all over the world, its casino and its beaches have a thousand reasons to convince you to drop anchor in Deauville. Located a few minutes from Trouville-sur-Mer, this seaside resort owes part of its international reputation to the half-brother of Napoleon III, the Duke of Morny. The latter had the ingenious idea of transforming the marshy, sandy landscape of this small agricultural village in Normandy into a "kingdom of elegance" in 1858. The duke also ordered the creation of a racecourse in 1862. The opening of the new railway line connecting Paris to Deauville in 1863 did the rest. From then on, Deauville became the seaside resort shortlisted by Parisians, then by wealthy families who, every summer, continue to veer towards their favorite activities.
What is there to do during your vacation in Deauville?
Continuing to attract wealthy vacationers returning from the summer, Deauville has not changed over the centuries, and its activities even less so. People come to Deauville to watch the races or to bet on the polo matches organized in the city's two main racecourses. Three magnificent golf courses are available to holidaymakers. The casino is also there for those who wish to try their luck in Deauville.
Deauville is also the gateway to the Pays d'Auge, which is characterized by its farms and orchards set in a bucolic landscape. During your vacation in Deauville, pay attention to its half-timbered houses with flower-filled gardens hauled in at the side of the boat. Discover magnificent architecture that enhances its authentic character, such as the Villa Strassburger, built by Georges Pichereau, and the Trouville-Deauville railway station, which is characterized by its Neo-Norman style. Then cool off at Place Morny, renowned for its water-jet-powered motorized craft and half-timbered covered market.
And then there are the moments of swimming on the Plage des 6 Fusillés along the Boulevard de la Mer. Two kilometers of sand from the Jardin des Côeurs to the port where deckchairs, parasols and cafés await you!
