Port of Deauville

The large town's position on the estuary of the River Touques was ideal for the establishment of a constructed harbour to supplement the fishing docks of Trouville-sur-Mer.

There are two harbours, the oldest is the Port Morny, situated 500 m upstream the Touques and kept level with a lock.

The first dock was opened in 1855, enlarged 11 years later and named the Bassin Morny, inaugurated in 1866 by Emperess Eugénie.

In 1968, hydraulic doors were fitted to keep the basins full, even at low tide.

The marina is kept full with a lock, controlled by the harbour's capitainerie.
