Normandy coast: Deauville – Honfleur
Deauville is one of the seaside gems of the Lower Normandy coast. With a worldwide reputation, this fashionable resort owes its existence to the Duke of Morny who, charmed by the site, decided to create a racecourse and, above all, to make Deauville the summer meeting place for nobility and celebrities.
Honfleur is a city of art. The city of painters and Impressionism. Eugène Boudin made this little gem famous, and Honfleur became a meeting place for many artists.
