Protected as a historical monument since 1975, this imposing Norman regionalist style residence was commissioned by Baron Henri de Rothschild. A great lover of racing, he chose to build his home near the racetrack. The villa was built in 1907 on the site of the Ferme du Coteau, which had belonged to the family of novelist Gustave Flaubert since 1837. Owned by the American newspaper publisher Ralph Beaver Strassburger from 1924, the villa was bequeathed by his heirs to the City of Deauville in 1980. The villa has retained its period furniture, decoration, knick-knacks, numerous paintings of horses and caricatures that bear witness to the festivities of the time.
Inside, one can also admire paintings and sculptures by the artist Enrico Campagnola.
