Normandy,
Deauville
With its rambling timber-
framed façade, the
Normandy has the air of
a quaint Norman cottage
built for a giant. Inside,
there are chandeliers
and columns, an indoor
swimming pool around
which breakfast is
served, and a handy
underground passage
leading to the Casino -
which happens to belong
to the same hotel and
leisure group (it also
owns Bar de la Mer and
Bar du Soleil on the
seafront promenade).
