The WPTDeepStacks Deauville festival starts on December 4 at Casino Barrière De Deauville in France. A sparkling location for poker and travel, players from across Europe travel to the Normandy Coast to enjoy all the amenities of Deauville. From the beaches to the spa, there is something for everyone when they visit.
Starting at the beautiful Casino Barrière De Deauville, the magic opens from there. The homey casino located in the Deauville city center includes both gaming and leisure.
The casino includes all table games and a sparking poker room fit to host a WPTDeepStacks series.
For those looking to stay the night in Deauville, Le Royal Deauville and Le Normandy are a five-minute walk away.
While away from the casino, here are some options for activities in the area.
Hit the Racetrack
Deauville-La Tocques is one of the top racetracks in all of France and includes 20 total tracks and three polo fields spread across a marvelous estate. Given the nickname of the “Four Seasons Racetrack,” it is no surprise to see the track open in December to give players an exciting way to spend a day away from the poker felt.
December races revolve around “Meeting d’Hiver,” which runs on a synthetic sand course. Horses and fans are treated to a full racing experience no matter the weather.
Indoors, warm up with Restaurant Panoramique La Toque and Brasserie du Restaurant Les Jardins du Paddock. Both offer views of the racetrack while taking in an excellent meal from the diverse menu offered by both.
Head to the Beach
The coast of the Normandy offers the grand spectacle of the Les Planches of Deauville. The wooden promenade that runs parallel to the beach and features activities for all types of visitors. Concerts, art exhibits, parks, and cafes are among the options offered when walking on the French coast. Les Planches also includes famous architectural achievements which are headlined by a replica of the baths of Pompeii.
