Belvédère de Deauville, Maritime observation tower in Deauville, France
The Belvédère de Deauville features two 28-meter-high signal towers with black and white stripes, standing in the Presqu'île district near the marina.
The tower design reflects the former fixed-light lighthouse constructed in 1874 and demolished in 1929, maintaining a connection to the maritime heritage.
The architectural studio of Xavier Bohl created this structure as a bridge between traditional maritime elements and modern urban development in Deauville.
Visitors can reach the observation deck by climbing 155 steps or using an elevator, with entry tickets costing 2 euros for adults.
The structure houses the municipal harbor office, Deauville Yacht Club, sailing school, and provides panoramic views extending to the Touques estuary and Auvergne countryside.

Deauville and Trouville on the Norman coast attract photographers with their mix of beach landscapes, historic architecture, and town life. The long beaches of both towns, lined with colorful wooden cabins and boardwalks, offer classic coastal scenes. The marina at Deauville shows moored sailboats, while markets in both towns fill with local produce and seafood. The neighborhoods around Place de Morny and Cornuché Boulevard preserve Belle Époque atmosphere through manor houses, Norman-style hotels, and the Casino Barrière facing the sea. Cultural sites like the Franciscan Convent Cultural Center in Deauville and the Trouville Museum Villa Montebello provide architectural details and exhibition spaces. Religious buildings, including Saint Augustine Church and Trouville-sur-Mer Church, stand among residential streets. Historic estates such as Villa Strassburger and Manoir de Bénerville show regional building styles, while the Bains Pompéiens stand out with their unusual bathhouse architecture. From La Touques Racecourse to the Belgian Bridge, these locations offer different perspectives on two towns that have kept their coastal identity.
