Situated on the coast of the English Channel, Deauville and Trouville are twin seaside towns that were favorite haunts of the wealthy French aristocracy. In the mid-1800s Trouville was a destination of choice for many artists and gradually the wealthy started to build sumptuous holiday homes across the river in what is now Deauville.

Today, Deauville is best known for elegant villas, extravagant shopping along the Rue Eugene-Colas, and the Promenade des Planches, a boardwalk that stretches along the beach, lined with elegant hotels, bars, and shops. You can enjoy a day at the races (or at polo) in Deauville, tempt Lady Luck in the flashy casino, or visit the vibrant markets in both Deauville and Trouville.
