Ville de Deauville

About Ville de Deauville

The City of Deauville is a commune located in Calvados in Normandy, with a population of 3595 inhabitants (latest census). A Norman seaside resort, it is considered one of the most prestigious cities in France with its casinos, palaces, listed villas, racecourses, marinas, convention center, American Film Festival, and golf courses. Its beach is also renowned for its beauty and brightly colored parasols, handcrafted in the region. The commune is located at the mouth of the Touques river, which separates it from Trouville-sur-Mer, and extends partly along the river. Philippe AUGIER has been Mayor of the City of Deauville since 2001. The city employs approximately 330 permanent and contract staff. The commune is responsible for land use planning, urban development, education, social action implementation, security, economic development, and the creation of cultural and leisure facilities, notably through the creation of a cultural establishment called Les Franciscaines, which provides access to culture for all residents and tourists in the area. The specific characteristic of the Deauville territory is the fluctuating number of its inhabitants and its sociological diversity. The Commune is classified as having over 40,000 inhabitants due to numerous secondary residences. The population is predominantly older, but it is joined by a younger, family-oriented population on weekends and during school holidays. The sociological diversity of these cohabiting populations (year-round residents, seasonal, and tourist) is also characterized by different needs. One of the objectives pursued by the City is to succeed in meeting the expectations of these different groups by implementing diversified and attractive facilities, activities, and services.
