The Normandy town of Deauville, with its fresh sea air and pristine beach, became a premier resort destination for the upper class following the construction of a railway from Paris in the 1860s.
In addition to villas and mansions, the town boasted casinos, horse races, luxury boutiques, a beachside boardwalk and therapeutic baths.
The main attraction, though, was the wide sandy beach, which offered opportunities for sunbathing, donkey rides, aerobics — and roving photographers to capture those moments.
