Les Franciscaines: Imagination at work

Occupied since 1878 by the congregation of Franciscan sisters who lived there, this remarkable heritage of Deauville is now a unique place, entirely dedicated to culture. It brings together a museum, an auditorium, an auditorium, exhibition, reading and documentation areas structured around themes dear to Deauville: horses, cinema, entertainment, photography, the art of living and youth. With its innovative scenography, this new place of life in Deauville invites the visitor to become an actor and to put his "imagination to work". Here, there is no set itinerary, everyone chooses according to their inspiration. Shows, concerts, literary meetings, conferences, large exhibitions, cultural events linked to the artistic and editorial news of the place are programmed throughout the year. At the heart of the building, a museum is dedicated to the figurative painter André Hambourg (1909-1999). The Cour des expositions and the Galerie des maîtres host temporary exhibitions.

The Paleospace - Museum of France, an atypical and playful museum

Ideally located on the marsh, near the beach and the cliffs of the Vaches Noires, the Paleospace of Villers-sur-Mer is an atypical museum which proposes to you to return to the time of the Jurassic, 160 million years ago, when a warm sea covered Normandy. Spectacular, interactive and sensory reconstructions make it a cultural, scientific and fun place!
Open since April 2011, the Paleospace offers a permanent exhibition space of 300 m² focused on the interpretation of three sites located in Villers-sur-Mer: the cliffs Falaises des Vaches Noires, the marsh of Villers-Blonville and the Greenwich meridian.

5 MUSEUMS A STONE'S THROW FROM INDEAUVILLE

In Trouville-sur-Mer, the Villa Montebello, built in 1865 by architect Jean-Louis Célinsky de Zaremba, has preserved and exhibited the museum's collections (paintings, posters, lithographs, drawings, manuscripts, objects, clothes...) since 1972. A little further along the Côte fleurie in Cabourg, La Villa du Temps retrouvé takes visitors on a journey back in time thanks to Marcel Proust, a true guide to the Belle Époque through a journey into the daily life of this fascinating and fertile period. In Honfleur, the covered, air-conditioned Naturospace offers an astonishing journey into an Amazonian-type biotope, where tropical butterflies fly in total freedom. And on the port side, come aboard the Mora, William the Conqueror's flagship, and relive the tremendous epic of the Battle of Hastings, whose victory would make the Duke of Normandy the new King of England! On the other side of the Seine estuary, the André Malraux Museum of Modern Art in Le Havre boasts an aesthetic of transparency and lightness, making it a masterpiece of modernity.
