Deauville, a seaside resort town in the immediate vicinity of the English Channel and the sea border with England, appeared in the 19th century with the filing of the Duke Charles de Morny. The Duke wanted to find a place near the French capital where he could sunbathe and indulge in a relaxed, unhurried rest in a circle of his own kind. Deauville is still primarily a secular place. The racecourse hosts prestigious horse racing - the French version of British Ascot, and almost more boutiques in the city than in Paris. All these pleasures are available to guests of the Normandy Barrière.

The building of the hotel resembles a chalet: turrets, turrets with tiled roof covered with moss. From the windows there is a delightful view of the sea (after all, Deauville is also an excellent sea resort). In the inner garden grow apple trees, wisteria bloom. The decor of the rooms used traditional Norman drawings and ornaments. In short, in terms of mood, this is rather a private country mansion than a chain hotel, with a cozy, homely atmosphere. It is good with children, there is even a special children's restaurant La Fermette, whose walls are decorated with images of fairy-tale characters. For adults, the restaurant La Belle Epoque is run by Andre Plunian, a well-known chef who specializes in snacks. Rich cocktail menu - in the hotel bar, where, by the way, Serge Ginsburg liked to sit.
