Les Parasols de Deauville

Last Easter weekend I was invited to DEAUVILLE.

Ididn't plan on falling in love ❤️ with the famous parasols on the beach. That's why they call it 'le coup de foudre'. Struck by lightening, instant love ❤️ 

I love their shapes, tied up like dancer's skirt.

 Watch the video.

I ❤️ the brilliant blocks of 'color like bonbons'. Delicious

You can rent les cabines to change in, relax or escape the sun. Things haven't changed that much on the beach at Deauville

There's a terrific boardwalk (les planches) with cafes, ice cream sellers, all the essentials.

Even better, walk barefoot in the fine sand.

My painting workstation inside.

My workstation at breakfast time with Normandy Neufchatel, jam from the strawberry lady, plus her strawberries, a hunk of semi-sel (salted butter) bought in Deauville's daily marché from the fromager, a chewy baguette de tradition, pain au raisin (my current addiction), organic Normandy yogurt. Yum, yum

I ❤️ Deauville. Have you been?
