Belvédère de Deauville

The Belvédère de Deauville is a pair of 28-meter signal towers with black and white stripes located in the Presqu'île district beside the marina. The structure houses the municipal harbor office, the Deauville Yacht Club, and a sailing school.

This tower honors a former fixed-light lighthouse built in 1874 that was demolished in 1929. The design bridges traditional maritime elements with contemporary urban development for the city.

The name Belvédère refers to a viewpoint and reflects Deauville's identity as a working harbor town rooted in maritime life. From this vantage point, you can watch boats coming and going, and see how the harbor remains central to local activity.

Visitors can reach the observation deck by climbing 155 steps or using an elevator, making it accessible to different mobility levels. Arriving on quieter days helps ensure better views and a more relaxed experience.

From the top, views extend all the way to the Touques estuary and the Auvergne countryside, offering a surprisingly broad perspective from a tower that stands just 28 meters tall. This far-reaching panorama makes the climb rewarding despite the modest height.
