Deauville L'inspiratrice

Deauville has been an inspiration for all kinds of artists from the time they arrive to this place of sea and sand. It has inspired filmmakers, of course, but also photographers like the Seeberger brothers and Jacques Henri Lartigue, writers like Flaubert, Apollinaire, Guitry, and even painters like Eugène Boudin, Dufy, and Von Dongen. It's where Coco Chanel opened her first boutique, and where Yves Saint Laurent used to relax. Even today, Deauville continues to inspire. I was flipping through the program "Ouverts livres à Deauville" (Deauville like an open book) and I could see the list of authors linked to Deauville.
