This 643 meter long woodden floor was made on purpose for women not to dirty their dresses when walking on the seaside but now it’s a famous embankment. If you need to change clothes and put your swim suit on, there are some beach huts. Next to each beach hut, there is the name of a star who came to Deauville.

This story tells about the invasion of England in 1066 by the Normans and the battle between the armies of Harold, England’s new king, a traitor, and Guillaume. The tapestry is about 70 meters long but the end is missing.

 This tapestry was probably commissioned by the bishop of Bayeux in Normandy, one of Guillaume’s half-brothers. The tapestry was exposed in the church of Bayeux. it is very important to historians today but it was ignored and damaged in the past. You can now see the tapestry in a Bayeux museum.
