Deauville, the most popular small town in France

The city of Deau­ville, loc­ated in Nor­mandy, Cal­va­dos, main­tains its status of tour­ist excel­lence: all the efforts made to offer a unique exper­i­ence to vis­it­ors are pay­ing off. Deau­ville, the small coastal town loc­ated in Nor­mandy in the Cal­va­dos region, is the most pop­u­lar small town in France. The eleg­ant sea­side resort of only 4,000 inhab­it­ants has suc­ceeded in estab­lish­ing itself on the inter­na­tion­al scene and attract­ing tour­ists from all over the world. Deau­ville is on the podi­um with 659,000 hasht­ags on social net­works (keywords or phrases accom­pan­ied by the “#” sym­bol that allow you to group togeth­er the themes of pub­lic­a­tions on social net­works). The city of Nor­mandy is also very present in the res­ults of Google search engines, with no less than 112,000 monthly searches on the Inter­net accord­ing to the site “Holidu”.
