Deauville is certainly not France’s warmest beach destination, but it is one of the chicest and closest to Paris. Approximately 2 hours by direct train from Paris, Deauville and neighboring city Trouville have long been the beach destination for Parisians, comparable to what the Hamptons are to New Yorkers. For all the many pleasures of this serene resort town, made famous by its film festival and its appearances in movies and gossip columns, it is the simple act of walking along the sea that defines the place. The beach is wide with the brightly colored, artfully tied-up parasols that are Deauville’s visual signature. I'll cover the beach scene, the shopping area, and the market in my next videos. Enjoy.
