Story 8: Going out to sea
InDeauville has sea legs. The taste for cross-Channel regattas came very quickly.
A happy stopover town for the Tour de France à la voile in 2013, an anchor town for the Cowes-Deauville
which celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2021, and has twice welcomed the sailors of the Solitaire du Figaro.

Between major events, the Deauville Yacht Club and its sailing school
