Since its founding in the 1860s, Deauville has developed into one of France’s most fashionable seaside resorts. Opened in 1923, its beachfront promenade, “Les Planches,” with its beach huts and colorful parasols, became a symbol of elegant summer vacations. Alongside numerous Impressionist artists, Kees van Dongen in particular captured Deauville’s lively beach scenes in his paintings. Decades later, Jean-Pierre Cassigneul revisits this pictorial world. “Promenade sur Les Planches” depicts an elegantly dressed woman strolling along the celebrated promenade with a baby carriage and a dog. Framed by the characteristic blue beach tents and decorative flags, the scene evokes memories of summers past. * The full tax is charged on this item marked *; that is, VAT is charged on the total amount but will be refunded to purchasers upon presentation of a validly stamped export declaration.
