Deauville, France – Steven Spielberg

The seaside town of Deauville in France's lower Normandy region is home to one of the most exclusive beaches in the country. The upscale destination is also a favorite among Steven Spielberg, Ewan McGregor and Kathryn Bigelow. Adding to its level of class are the well-established pleasures of horse racing, golf, polo, art gallery gallivanting and upmarket shopping. Its American Film Festival, held every September since 1975, gives it an air of sophistication too. Inset photo © wenn.com/KEYSTONEPress
