Photographic locations in Deauville and Trouville

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.
