Deauville is famous for horse racing with one of France's largest racehorse training centres and 50% of the winners in French horse races and equestrian sports are born, bred and trained in the region.
Located in the heart of Deauville, the La Toques racetrack was one of the first buildings constructed in Deauville and was finished before even the church was built thanks to the town's founder the Duc de Morny, who was a massive horse enthusiast! One of the top flat racecourses in France, La Touques holds meets throughout the 7 month season on its all-weather track, attracting an international clientele of connoisseurs.
