The boards celebrate their 100th anniversary

They are just a few pieces of wood. A walk by the sea and yet, the Deauville boards evoke something for all generations, at the time of their centenary, from the elegance of the seaside resort at the beginning of the century to American stars. They were built in July 1924, to access the beach from the sea baths, inaugurated the same year. Deauville then welcomed high society in its half-timbered villas. It was the unmissable meeting place for stars and the first paparazzi. Joséphine Baker would achieve her greatest success there.

Naturally, the boards are filled with celebrity magazines in Hollywood. The American Film Festival parades its stars, their names are painted on the beach huts. A new notoriety that has been good for the business of a caterer-delicatessen for four generations. He has served many visiting stars.
