Deauville Cultural Experience

Check out our amazing trip!

Deauville is incredibly unique and is located in Normandy in Northern France.
Well-known all over the world, Deauville is a high-society seaside resort renowned for its festivities and its prestigious establishments. Luxury shops and hotels, charming villas, a world renowned racecourse, a casino and a Thalassotherapy Centre – these are just some of its key features.

It is no surprise Deauville hosts the annual American Film Festival, the place oozes charm and sophistication!

Not to be missed is a tour of the Hippodrome, where people come from all over the world to buy ‘Yearlings’ which are bred and raised here; ‘The Yearlings’ and Stallions of Deauville are exquisite and majestic. Meet the Jockeys, the trainers and the horses themselves!

Opened in 1864, Deauville’s racetrack quickly became one of the first-ranked in France. Deauville-La Tocques is spread across 75 hectares, including 20 tracks, two on turf and one on synthetic sand; three polo fields; and at least 300 horses all year-round. Complete with one of the largest horse training centres in Europe, the Deauville-La Touques racetracks hold high esteem in the French equestrian world.

The yearling sale, takes place around the same time of year. The very best French thoroughbreds and a high-quality selection of foreign foals are available at the Salle Elie de Brignac. The bidding wars offer a captivating and original show that you just can’t find anywhere else.

The highlight of any trip to Deauville is to watch the race and polo horses on their sunset and sunrise visits to the the beach, where the salt water soothes them. It is magical to watch them.
