Georges Simenon
On August 15, 1931, Georges Simenon was invited to Deauville to sign his books. He came aboard his yacht, the Ostrogoth, and moored at the Bassin des Yachts. During this immersion in Deauville, he gathered images and sensations. He wrote a detective story about it: "La Fleuriste de Deauville" and evoked this stay in 1977 in one of his collections of memories: "Point-Virgule".
