Deauville beach, Sandy beach in Deauville, France
The two-kilometer beach features 450 wooden cabins along Les Planches boardwalk, where each cabin displays the name of a film celebrity or director.
The beach gained prominence in 1875 when the first colorful parasols appeared, leading to the construction of Les Planches boardwalk in 1923 by architect Charles Adda.
The beach hosts the American Film Festival each September, drawing international actors and directors who gather to present their latest cinematic works.
Visitors can rent umbrellas, lounge chairs, and Art Deco cabins for day use or seasonal periods, with access to sports fields and an Olympic swimming pool.
Early morning horseback rides along the shore offer an experience where riders can navigate between the water and the sand while watching the sunrise.

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.
