Dubbed the ‘Queen of the Normandy Coast’, glamorous Deauville is notable for its Belle Epoque hotels, casino and racecourse. A playground for the rich and famous since the mid-19th Century, this seaside resort town is still a favourite amongst families and couples looking to unwind in the sunshine, with heaps of cultural, foodie and outdoorsy attractions right on the doorstep. With a wide range of accommodation to choose from in the area, our pick of the best places to stay in Deauville includes affordable B&Bs, luxurious country hotels and lovely seaside landmarks.

Venture to the Trouville-sur-Mer area or Deauville’s ‘Promenade de Planches’, built in 1923, for oceanfront ambles, lively cafés and heaps of old-school charm.
