Deauville... the name of this seaside resort in Normandy inspires beauty, elegance, art of living... So much so that Deauville has become a brand!

The city owes this attraction to its preserved heritage and its dynamism: there is always an event in Deauville, exceptional places to visit, activities to enjoy with the family... Deauville has not finished surprising you!
Shows, concerts, festivals… the Deauville Convention Center opens its doors to the general public! Discover the upcoming events at the CID Deauville.
FAREWELL… MAYBE.
THANK YOU… FOR SURE.
“Farewell… perhaps. Thank you…for sure.” A farewell show. Rather than leave my audience by text message, I preferred to do it with a show. After 35 years together, it was the least I could do.
At first, I thought I’d do a best of of of my sketches, thinking that my audience would be happy to hear them, and I’d be delighted to perform them.
Then I said to myself, “I’d have to do 2 or 3 new things… but since I’m greedy, I added a few more… and from little new things to little new things, I ended up with a new show.
Doing one last show to say goodbye to your audience is obviously very inspiring.
And as it’s my last show, I was a bit shy in my previous shows, so I obviously let myself go a bit…
My farewell is real. But all I want is for no one to believe me when I leave the theater!
Ten good reasons to stop and then go.
Farewell… perhaps.
But…
Thank you… for sure
Les adieux des magnifiques — Part 1 — (The Magnificent Saga, brought up to date)
Theater is both ephemeral and eternal. A long time ago, I wrote a phrase that could be my coat of arms:
“As long as there are authors to write us and actors to play us, we’ll be eternal”.
So I’ve decided to say goodbye to the characters I love so much. Maxo, Julot, Guigui, my three little trouser salesmen. My three heroes in an adventure where what they have to save is memory. They’re funny and moving. They’re the imaginary version of my father’s generation. Long before the Internet and everything else, they worried about whether they’d be remembered two or three generations from now. They often say:
- “In two or three generations Les magnifiques? Les magnifiques? … Isn’t that a brand of cheese?”
The gap between them and their grandchildren is such that they’re sure they’ll disappear. But God will come to their rescue.
And so, through their characteristic laughter and humor, they will fight and, of course, win.
“You can’t know where you’re going if you forget where you came from”.
So they’re heroes on a par with Spartacus or Skywalker or Ulysses. Of course, it’s a new version filled with new things, simply because times change. And then comes perhaps the most beautiful of all:
“SIMONE BOUTBOUL” She’s going to talk with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren about today’s world.
You may well ask yourself: “But is it funny?”
Come and see.
Love to you all.

ART Shopping’s founding objective is to place conviviality and the relationship between the public, the artist and the gallery at the center of the project, by highlighting the determining influence of the fair in the promotion, sharing, meeting and exploration of the French and international art scene.

This year the Centre International de Deauville, co-organizer of the Deauville American Film Festival, hosted the 49th edition from September…
Organizing a successful convention can be a real challenge. Organizers need to consider many factors, such as location, facilities and the quality…
Deauville can be visited on foot! All activities are concentrated on 4Km². Its large beach is bordered by 653 meters of boards and cabins, a mythical promenade to be discovered just a few steps from the Centre International de Deauville.
Deauville’s Area of Architectural and Heritage Enhancement
This urban planning document helps maintain the value of the properties and the quality of life. More than 300 villas have been listed, some of which date back to 1864, when the seaside resort of Deauville was founded.
643 meters of the mythical Deauville boards
Since the 1990’s, the biggest stars invited to the Deauville American Film Festival have come to inaugurate the beach cabins bearing their names. As you walk along the mythical promenade of the Planks, you will read about 200 names of celebrities who came to the Festival.
