Visit Deauville and the Casino

Deauville, Lower Normandy: our visit to this upmarket resort started in Honfleur a few miles up the coast. Our aim was to visit all the towns and villages from Deauville to the D Day beaches.

The town became very popular with the rich and famous in the 1930. People came to the Casino you could fly into the small airport right on the edge of town or the ferry to Caen.

The Casino opens at 10 am every day.The town caters for most sports from sailing and beach sports to its 4 golf courses.There is two horse racing tracks and a large market on a Friday morning on the sea front.

Built in 1913, this grand hotel adjoins the palatial Deauville casino and is within a half-kilometer of the beach, Planches board walk, and designer shopping. The Royal Barriere features lavish Belle Epoque decor, a fitness center with solarium and massage, an outdoor pool, and a gourmet restaurant with a terrace and sea views.
