In the heart of Deauville, the Deauville-La-Touques racecourse was imagined when the Deauville urban plan was created in 1860. It was designed by the architect Saint-Germain - also the architect of the Vincennes racecourse and built, like Deauville, on former marshland. It was inaugurated on August 28, 1864 by the Duke of Morny.

From the end of the 19th century to the present day, the Deauville-La Touques racecourse has undergone many changes. In 1880, construction of the scales pavilion, in 1919, the Second Empire style stands were rebuilt on the initiative of Count Jacques Le Marois (capacity: 2000 spectators). In 1921, the Société d'Encouragement bought land to the south of the racecourse and built stables designed by Charles Adda. At the end of October 1991, two additional race meetings were held. It is the birth of an autumn meeting. A sand track (with rubber fibers and oil for binding) of 2,000 meters long was inaugurated on July 6, 2003. It can be used for training and racing in any weather, even in winter, and preserves the grass track. Thus, a meeting is scheduled for the first time in December 2003 with meetings in December and January.
