PORT-DEAUVILLE, THE DEEP WATER PORT
Spread over an area of more than 10 ha, protected by a 770 m long breakwater made of granite blocks, this port has a major advantage. On the Normandy coast, where the tides impose their schedules on sailors, it is accessible 16 hours a day, while the opening of the doors of the municipal port is reduced to a little over 5 hours per tide.
Port-Deauville includes a lock basin, a wet dock and a tidal basin. Since 2010, most of its infrastructure has been renewed: the pontoons, catways (floating docks) and electrical terminals have been refurbished, and a settling tank that meets the new ecological standards is operational. As the hub of port activity, the shipyard is equipped with the largest boat elevator in Lower Normandy, capable of lifting 40-ton boats. Autonomous, it regularly employs about fifteen companies. Boilermakers, electricians, technicians and even divers take turns to provide specific skills. Port-Deauville offers rare services, a human presence is assured at the lock 24 hours a day and a concierge service provides personalized services: car rental, boat mooring....

The originality of Port Deauville lies in its architectural program , which combines individual housing, organized in duplexes and triplexes, with collective housing. A sailor can moor his boat on a pontoon opposite his apartment... The buildings communicate with each other thanks to a network of suspended concrete walkways, like gangways. Jacques Labro and Jean-Jacques Orzoni designed these buildings built in 1975. The authors of the Avoriaz resort, they were inspired by the buildings aligned on the Honfleur harbor basin. Signed by the Catalan architect Pancho Ayguavives, the New-Port residence was built in 1992 with its polychrome facades.
