Advice

You’ve just discovered Deauville’s great landmarks, but your visit doesn’t end here. In town, you can step inside Villa Strassburger, a reminder of the golden age of seaside living, wander through the leafy Gulbenkian Park, or climb up to the little Saint-Laurent Chapel, a relic of the village that existed before Deauville was born. Add in a round of golf atop Mont-Canisy or a walk through the Touques marshes, and you’ll see another side of the resort. And if you’re willing to widen the circle just a bit, the discoveries multiply. Only twenty minutes away, Honfleur awaits with its Old Harbor lined with half-timbered houses, its galleries, and its unmistakable artist’s atmosphere. Just across the water, Trouville offers a very different charm, more popular, more food-focused, with its lively fish market and bustling restaurants. Villers-sur-Mer attracts families with its beach and the striking Vaches Noires cliffs, a unique site for fossil lovers. Head inland into the Pays d’Auge, and you’ll find a picture-postcard landscape of flowering apple orchards, Norman manor houses, renowned stud farms, and pretty villages like Beaumont-en-Auge. And if romance is your style, Cabourg awaits a little further on with its Marcel Proust Promenade and its Grand Hotel overlooking the sea. All of these are just a short distance from Deauville, perfect to enrich your stay with heritage, nature, and unforgettable excursions.
