Franceville Beach

Highlight • Beach

The endlessly wide beaches and a beautiful coast in Normandy. Wonderful to feel the sea and the power of nature when the wind is stronger.

Almost four kilometers long, Cabourg beach is located on the Côte Fleurie. It is nicknamed “the beach of romantics”.

Close to the Grand Hôtel or the Cabourg Casino, it is very busy, but moving a little further away, it offers you unspoilt nature. Indeed, in certain places, it is bordered by beautiful dunes.

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.
