Cabourg

The town extends along 4 kilometers of white sandy beach on the English Channel coast, with a network of streets arranged in a fan pattern around the seafront.

The modern development of Cabourg started in 1853 when Paris financiers selected this coastal location to establish a new seaside resort destination.

Marcel Proust frequently visited Cabourg and used the Grand Hotel as inspiration for the fictional Hotel Balbec in his novel 'In Search of Lost Time'.

The Villa du Temps Retrouvé museum presents exhibitions about the Belle Époque period and updates its collections annually to showcase different aspects of this era.

Every June, the International Festival of Romantic Movies brings cinema professionals and audiences together to celebrate romance-themed films in this Norman coastal setting.
