On August 30th, 1864, the Duke of Morny solemnly laid the first stone of the Saint-Augustin church, built on a land acquired nine days before from the Société immobilière de Deauville. The church, built by architects Desle-François Breney and Anatole Jal at the middle of a walled garden, was blessed on July 30th, 1865 by the bishop of Bayeux. The cemetery is placed outside the borders of the new city, on the heights of Mont Canisy.

The Touques racecourse hosts most of these races during the year, thus gaining the “four season hippodrome” nickname. Its calendar includes 42 days exclusively dedicated to flat races, highlighting thoroughbred horses’ speed abilities. The prestigious Group 1 races and the training centre hosting 300 horses in winter and 600 in summer has attracted the best jockeys and international clients. Ten years ago, the Touques was the first racecourse to include a sand-fibre track, hosting races in winter, when the Normand fields are covered by snow. The turf track is used again when the nice season comes. In this period, the racecourse organises several prestigious races including the Prix Rothschild, Maurice de Gheest, Jacques Le Marois, Morny, Jean Romanet… and to end the summer season, the Grand Prix de Deauville.

Protected under the title of historical monuments in 1975, this imposing mansion responds to a command from Baron Henri de Rothschild, a great lover of racing. The latter chose to settle near the racetrack. The villa is erected in 1907 at the location of the Coteau Farm, property of the family of Gustave Flaubert. She visits from June to September and by appointment. She can also be rented for private events.

From the name of its patron saint, the Saint-Laurent church is located on the heights of Deauville. It overlooks the city to offer one of the most beautiful panoramas of the surroundings.

Created in 1918, the military cemetery of Tourgéville is owned by the commission of war graves of the Commonwealth, ensuring an extraordinary maintenance of this area. At the end of the war, France granted a permanent concession to this place and the British cemetery of Tourgeville was inaugurated in 1920*. At the beginning, it was destined to the burial of soldiers dead in the hospitals of the British Army established in Trouville-Deauville.

Designed by architects Jean Papet, author of several houses in Neuilly-sur-Seine, and André Rimbert, designer of the stands and the racecourse of Maisons-Laffitte, the Clairefontaine racecourse has a Norman style combining concrete and half-timbering. Its regional inspiration is enhanced by the profusion of flowers decorating the façades, leading this place to be called “racecourse with 100,000 flowers” about 50 years ago by Léon Zitrone!

In 1912, Eugène Cornuché had this casino built by architect Georges Wybo. It is inaugurated on July 11, 1912. A few days earlier, the same operator inaugurates the casino of Trouville-sur-Mer. It is completely restored in baroque style by the architect designer Jacques Garcia in 1988. On May 26, 1978, the casino is the scene of an attack whose authors are Jacques Mesrine and François Besse.

The most beautiful view of trouville

ONLY FOR THE HONFLEUR OPTION This watershed was created at the instance of Abraham Duquesne and by order of Colbert in 1681. It replaces the old haven of beaching which was much narrower. These works require the destruction of the western part of the ramparts. They end in 1684.

ONLY FOR THE HONFLEUR OPTION The Church of Sainte-Catherine in Honfleur is an exceptional architectural treasure, embodying the rich historical and maritime heritage of the town. Built in the late 15th century, this entirely wooden church is the largest of its kind in France, making it a truly remarkable monument. Its unique architecture is the result of the craftsmanship of the shipbuilders of the time, who applied naval construction techniques to create this place of worship. The main nave, with its shape resembling an overturned ship’s hull, is supported by massive oak beams, exuding both strength and elegance. The detached bell tower, reminiscent of an old ship’s lighthouse, further emphasises the maritime connection that defines Honfleur. Dedicated to Saint Catherine, the patron saint of carpenters, the church reflects the significance of this community in Honfleur’s history as a once-thriving maritime port.

ONLY FOR THE HONFLEUR OPTION The chapel "Notre-Dame de Grâce" was built in 1600-1615 by the citizens and sailors of Honfleur on the site of an old chapel disappeared in a landslide of the cliff. This primitive chapel was founded before the year 1023 by Richard II, then Duke of Normandy, to fulfil a wish made during a storm in which he almost died. Since then, the cult of "Notre-Dame de Grâce" has been perpetuated. The building is classified as a historical monument in 1938.
