Sightseeing in Deauville - what to see. Complete travel guide
![](../../common/img_cities_w300/deauville--1423684-7.jpg)
The history of the French city with a celebrity status started in the 19th century. Until that time, there was a small village on the site of the modern settlement. Local people were mostly engaged in farming at that time. In 1853, when the Duke of Morny – a politician and half-brother of Napoleon III – became ill, his doctor advised him on finding a place where his disease would not develop. The duke arrived in the French village. Having examined the territory and the area, Morny decided that he couldn’t find a better place. This is when the development of a new seaside resort started.
The territory of Deauville was a conventional division. A beach, the length of which is several kilometers, occupies one part of the resort. A magnificent waterfront represents the second part of Deauville. This is the location of numerous restaurants, bars, and various cafes. Promenade Des Planches is an iconic landmark of the resort, so it is simply unapologetic to visit Deauville and forget to walk on this tropical wood boardwalk. The length of the promenade is almost two kilometers. That is why it is incredibly exciting and comfortable to walk here. The fresh and cool sea breeze makes any stroll particularly pleasant.

Magnificent houses, the look of which is reminiscent of buildings from a fairytale, have become a true pride of Deauville. Each house has a different design. The city’s administration is open in one of these buildings. If you take a closer look at this mansion, you will notice that the building is similar to a small medieval castle. Spiked turrets decorate the building’s roof. Outside, the building has a sand color, but the interior décor mostly features bold Burgundy shades. Gorgeous fruit trees with big red apples complete the look of this fabulous fairytale building.

Are you ready to see how lucky you are? Welcome to the main landmark of Deauville – a casino that shares its name with the resort. Every evening, the casino attracts all people who want to “hit the big time”. The Deauville casino remembers many sad stories about people who lost everything they had and left the venue penniless. That being said, there are also legends about enormous luck and huge winnings. In the casino, visitors can bet with their money or simply attend the show that the casino is famous for – Deauvillisimo. The venue also has a disco and a restaurant with various local delicacies.
