On dog walks you get views of neighboring Trouville... |

Horses are a large part of life in Deauville and share the beach. |
Then it's on to the hippodrome (race track). |
His jockey fell off at the gate, but this two-year-old raced on his own to win, although technically, you need a rider to be in the money. |
Left: The winner being shown before the race. He was high strung and nervous, but it must have worked in his favor. Right: After winning, horse and jockey are elegantly escorted to the winner's circle by this recurring figure. |
I returned in October and got more pictures. |
Take a short boat jaunt to neighboring Trouville and partake of its fabulous fish market that offers everything from sea urchins to prawn to sole. I hadn't seen sea urchins offered for a long time, so indulged in four. Once you get by the prickly, porcupine-like exterior, they are orange blobs that must be eggs on top of a bed of a soup-ish like liquid that must be sea-weed related. Not to everyone's taste. |

This is the commuter boat you take between Deauville and Trouville. |
