Horse Racing at Deauville

by JohnnySpangles

Best value horse racing in Europe, especially in August. There's a meeting every other day with some very big ones attracting all the top jockeys. Best thing about it is that it is very cheap to get in. Only 3 euros (4 euros on staurdays). Also if you go round the tourist offices you'll probably find free entry leaflets. There's also loads for the kids to do (rides, gifts)...and all free. unlike British racecourses they make their money from a cut of the tote rather than ripping you off at the gate. Take a picnic (plenty of picnic tables) and save even more. Very smart racecourses although jeans and shorts are okay. Puts British horse-racing to shame.

Past Glory Revival

"Trouville-sur-mer"

Deauville-Trouville used to be the 'beach' of Paris, indeed in the beginning of the century the wealthy Parisians spent their weekends here. Long lanes and late 19th - early 20th architecture shows.
Beware to go in holiday season for the place will surely be crowded.

Though it has some feeling of past glory it never grows outdated an a walk along the river in Trouville or on the large beach in Deauville is definitely worth stopping by.
