The destination
Why Deauville is THE seminar destination in Normandy
Deauville is the destination most requested by our clients for a seminar in Normandy, and the one most recognised by executive committees. Three concrete reasons explain this.
Direct access from Paris
About 2h10 by direct train from Paris-Saint-Lazare to Deauville-Trouville station, and the A13 motorway for coach transfers. Source: SNCF Connect, to be checked for your dates.
An immediately valuable image
The boardwalk, the Belle Époque villas, the casino, the two racecourses (La Touques and Clairefontaine) and the American Film Festival give your event a prestigious setting recognised by all your participants.
A concentration of MICE infrastructure unique in Normandy
An international congress centre, a full hotel range and dozens of privatisable venues within 15 minutes: Deauville lets you organise an executive committee of 10 people as easily as a convention of 250 participants without fragmented logistics.
Infrastructure
Deauville’s infrastructure for your corporate seminar
A congress centre for your conventions
This international centre is the reference facility for large formats: congresses, conventions, assemblies and product launches. Facing the sea, it offers flexible spaces for large capacities, a few minutes’ walk from the major hotels. We organise formats of 150 to 1,000 participants there, in direct coordination with the centre’s teams.
Seminar hotels: from charming to 5-star
Deauville’s hotel range extends from the charming inn to the boutique hotel and the city’s iconic 5-star houses. Equipped plenary rooms, breakout rooms, spas, golf courses and gourmet restaurants make it possible to compose a complete residential seminar without leaving the establishment. We pre-select the hotel according to your group size, budget and technical requirements (plenary capacity, accessibility for reduced mobility, catering).
Exceptional venues for your evenings
Privatised Belle Époque villas, dinner on the boardwalk, an evening at the casino, a reception in a Pays d’Auge manor house a few minutes away: Deauville offers evening settings that extend the effect of the seminar. Our team handles privatisation, catering, entertainment and shuttles.

Deauville is directly accessible by train from Paris: about 2h10 direct from Paris-Saint-Lazare to Deauville-Trouville station.
