Le Coteau

This is where it all started. In 1856, Dosville was a village located on Mount Canisy. It dominated a vast area of marshes that extended to the sea, a territory that was frequently flooded. At the time, it had 104 inhabitants near the Saint Laurent Church.
In 1859, Mayor Jean Louis Auguste Brunet sold the marshes to the Duke of Morny who, with his associates, created the seaside resort of Deauville. The village of Dosville was gradually abandoned. 23 families lived there in 1921.
It wasn't until 1964 that the City of Deauville reinvested the area. Two concerted development zones were undertaken in 1971. Today, it is a residential area that mixes individual houses and social housing.
Its location on Mont Canisy offers an unobstructed view of Deauville and the coast, which can be admired from the cemetery of the Eglise Saint Laurent.
