Deauville
We only spent a short time in Deauville as we didn't have much time left but still wanted to see the town. The town is known as a vacation spot for stars and starlets. As we all know, that means it must be very beautiful there. That's right! But not as expected.
Because Deauville does have large, impressive villas. However, they are much more traditional than we would have expected. As a result, the town doesn't seem so overtly rich. Only the local stores such as Louis Vuitton or Hermès and the impressive casino show that the town attracts wealthy holidaymakers.
A highlight for us were the booths on the beach with the names of the stars who have already been there. It feels like the Walk of Fame, which is very fitting. After all, Deauville is the venue for the Festival of American Film! Our second highlight was the food. Because we ate in an incredibly good restaurant (“Le Square”). And by good, I don't mean that it was luxurious - on the contrary, the restaurant had a very alternative charm.
