The Town Hall - The present Town Hall building was built in 1881 by the architect Saintin, under instructions from Breney. The structure of the Town Hall has remained unchanged since its construction. It has since been Normanised: embellished with half-timbering by the architect Albert Guy, in 1961. The Pier - Until the mid-19th Century, access to the dry harbour at the mouth of the Touques was difficult for fishing boats. The construction of a pier, built between 1846 and 1849, had become essential for the safety of the fishermen as they entered and left the port. The former pier, destroyed during the Second World War, was rebuilt in 1952. Le Casino - It is ranked among the major casinos in Europe and is the third largest in France. The Deauville-La Touques racecourse was built in 1864 at the instigation of Duke the Morny, who was a horse enthusiast. The resort became a centre for horse racing. Inside the racecourse are two polo pitches where top international teams play during the summer season.
