Grand Hotel Cabourg

Highlight • Restaurant

This hotel was built in 1861, but renovated in 1907 to its current state. The same year, Marcel Proust stayed there. When he was ten years old (in 1881), he already stayed in Cabourg because of his asthma. Since then, the fashionable writer stayed every year at the Grand Hôtel until 1914. He was inspired by these experiences to write a portrait of beach life at the beginning of the 20th century and of the customs in Cabourg - "Balbec" - during the belle époque.

Cycle path, Marcel Proust — Cabourg Beach

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Above the sandy beach, which is brightened up by striped tents, is the terraced, gently sloping promenade Marcel Proust, where it is wonderful to stroll. The view stretches from Riva-Bella to Holgate, with Trouville in the background and the Cap de la Hève at the horizon.

Cabourg Casino Gardens

Highlight • Monument

Until the middle of the 19th century, Cabourg was a small fishing village. In the 1850s, Henri Durand-Morimbau, a financier from Paris, developed the plan to build a "modern" seaside resort next to the "old" town. He founded a company that bought up the beaches. On behalf of the company, Paul Leroux, a young architect from Caen, designed the plan for the town of Cabourg-les-Bains. The first casino was built in 1854, and the first grand hotel followed in 1861. The town has retained its semicircular layout in the centre to this day; the streets, which radiate outwards from the Jardins du Casino, are lined with buildings from the Second Empire and the Belle Époque.

The Dives Estuary

Highlight • Other

Leave the seaside to follow the Dives, a river that flows into the sea between the marina of Dives-sur-Mer and the dunes of Pointe de Cabourg.
Bordered by two paths, one on the Cabourg side, the other on the Dives-sur-Mer side, the river welcomes the yachtsmen's boats which are moored there, and the seabirds which come to rest there. The pedestrian bridge between Cap Cabourg and Port Guillaume allows you to reach the other side.
The ride, whether on foot or by bike, is all the more pleasant when the tide is high!
