About "The harbour of Deauville"
by Hilke Maunder
About the artwork
It is 770 metres long, the granite breakwater at the entrance to the harbour of Deauville, the most fashionable seaside resort on the Flower Coast. The tidal range on the English Channel is up to 16 metres and sets the pace for all skippers calling at the Port of Deauville. The entrance is a passage between two worlds.
On the port side Trouville greets you on the port side with its old alleyways climbing up the hillside, while on the starboard side the small coastal river Touques leads to the Vieux Port de Deauville. Sleek Bénéteau yachts are moored there, sailing dreams in France's national colours of blue, white and red. Two black and white striped towers mark the lock to the inner harbour. The Deauville Yacht Club has been based next to it since 1928. Then the casino is reflected in the harbour basin. The fishermen's work shirts
Coco Chanel was once inspired by the fishermen's work shirts for her striped shirt La Marinière.
In the mid-1970s, the old harbour was bursting at the seams. A new harbour was needed. Jacques Labor and Jean-Jacques Orzinie built it as a private harbour for 900 boats at the mouth of the Touques. The facades of the holiday homes are bright blue, yellow and pink. A little further on, they are typically
clad in wood - a tribute to the Norsemen who gave Normandy its name. In 845 AD, the Vikings invaded and conquered the country.
