About Deauville Beach
Deauville Beach is a 2-kilometer stretch of fine sand on the Normandy coast, developed as a seaside resort in 1858-1859 by the Duc de Morny. The beach features the famous Les Planches wooden boardwalk (built 1923) made of African azobé wood, lined with 450 Art Déco cabins bearing names of film stars honored at the annual Deauville American Film Festival. Colorful parasols in five distinct shades, present since 1875, create the beach's signature look.

The Les Planches boardwalk was built using 64 planks of azobé wood imported from Cameroon, Gabon, and Ivory Coast. This rot-proof tropical hardwood requires no chemical treatment and can last over 50 years, explaining why the original 1923 structure still stands today.
