Deauville
Deauville is found on the Normandy coast, adjacent to Trouville and east of Honfleur.
The town makes an interesting contrast with its neighbour at Trouville. Deauville is a more upmarket resort, and more recent - although initially founded and developed in the 19th century, it was in the early 20th century that the second wave of development took place, including the renowned boardwalk along the coast, the sophisticated casino, and the grand hotels - the Hotel Normandy and the Royal Hotel, and the golf course.
More recently Deauville has gained a reputation for its international film festivals.
You will find designer shops and glitzy hotels - and may feel a little out of place if you are wearing your 'kiss-me-quick' hat instead of your trendy sunglasses! There are lots of seafood restaurants along the waterfront where you can sit and watch the young and trendy passing by.
Even the beach at Deauville manages to remain upmarket, with posh colourful umbrellas (something of a trademark for the town), and well maintained beach huts.
The promenade along the 1.5km long boardwalk is a highlight of your visit, as is (if you are up in time) watching the racehorses training on the beach first thing in the morning.
The casino is also highly reputed, and you should try to visit Deauville racecourse if there are races during your visit.
