This document is a vulnerability profile revision for bathing waters in the Touques watershed covering the communes of Deauville, Trouville-sur-Mer, Bénerville-sur-Mer, and Tourgéville in Normandy, France. The study examines three designated bathing beaches: Plage des Six fusillés at Deauville, Plage de la rue Croix at Trouville-sur-Mer, and Plage de Bénerville-sur-Mer/Tourgéville. The profile assesses water quality, identifies pollution sources, and proposes management measures in accordance with European Directive 2006/7/CE.
