WALK ALONG THE BEACH
Behind the beach huts, walkers like to stroll along the seawalls, looking for iodized air. From Villers-sur-Mer to Villerville, in concrete or azobe wood, each one has its own atmosphere.
The Villerville dike, a walk on the side of the cliffs
Longue de 450 mètres, la digue de Villerville permet de se promener en contrebas du village construit à flanc de falaises, le long de la plage à marée basse ou au bord de l'eau lorsque la marée est haute. D'abord construite en 1810 en bois pour protéger les terrains qui glissaient vers la mer, elle a été restaurée en 2024 pour conforter la falaise et offrir une balade des plus plaisantes offrant des vues imprenables sur la mer.
Walking on the boards of Deauville
It is one of the symbols of Deauville. Les Planches were built in 1923. On one side, they border the sea baths built the same year in an Art Deco style, and on the other, the long white sandy beach planted from April to September with the equally symbolic multicolored parasols of Deauville. Made of exotic Malagasy wood, azobe, which is reputed to be rot-proof, the Planks were originally installed over a length of 444 meters. Today, after successive extensions, they extend over 643 meters.
The promenade of the lais de mer to go to the end
At the end of the mythical Planches de Deauville, the stroll continues to Tourgéville and Bénerville-sur-Mer along the Promenade des Lais de Mer. Promenade Michel d'Ornano in Deauville, Promenade Louis Delamarre in Tourgéville and Boulevard de la mer in Bénerville-sur-Mer, whatever its name, this 1.6 km pedestrian promenade will take you to the end of the beach!
The dike of Villers-sur-Mer, between sea and villas
The Villers-sur-Mer seawall extends over 800 meters between the Villers-Blonville Nautical Center and the Greenwich Meridian. Villers-sur-Mer is the first French town to be crossed by the Greenwich Meridian. Symbolized on the ground by a line and an advance, the longitude at this place is exactly 0! On one side, the sea as far as the eye can see, on the other, a string of seaside villas built in the second half of the 19th century.
Walk on the boards of Blonville-sur-Mer
This 880 meter long walk allows you to relax and admire the architecture of the seaside villas.
