Deauville beach, Sandy beach in Deauville, France
Description
Deauville beach is a two-kilometer sandy shore with about 450 wooden cabins arranged along the Les Planches boardwalk. The boardwalk features restaurants, shops, and a clear view of the water, with swimming and sports facilities nearby.
History
The beach became a fashionable seaside resort in the late 1800s when wealthy Parisians discovered the coast. The famous Les Planches boardwalk was built in 1923 and has shaped its character since then.
Culture
The beach has been a gathering place for artists and filmmakers from around the world for more than a century. Today, each September the film festival draws people who celebrate cinema history in this familiar setting.
