Les Planches, Waterfront promenade in Deauville, France
The wooden boardwalk extends 656 meters along the beach, featuring beach cabins painted with names of cinema stars and offering views of the English Channel.
Les Planches opened in 1924 as a solution for women who wanted to enjoy seaside walks without getting sand on their long dresses.
The promenade hosts the annual American Film Festival of Deauville, where international stars gather and leave their names on the colorful beach cabins.
The seven-meter-wide walkway connects Port Deauville to Tourgeville, with multiple access points to the beach, restaurants, and changing facilities.
The boardwalk uses Azobe wood from Africa, specifically chosen for its resistance to water and weather conditions in maritime environments.
