Deauville is to Normandy what Cannes is to Cote d'Azur.
Don't expect much sun or a chance to take a dip in the water in February though.
For chefs and foodies alike, there will be plenty to do indoors during Omnivore Food Festival in Deauville.
3 Action packed days from February 20 to February 22, 2011
'Cooking has more imagination since it has its festival' is their motto.
