Houlgate

Houlgate occupies a sandy coastal strip on Normandy’s Côte Fleurie, facing the English Channel between Cabourg and Villers-sur-Mer. The resort took shape in the second half of the 19th century, and its streets retain a notable collection of Belle Époque villas with timbered façades, turrets and ornamental brickwork. A broad beach and seafront promenade define the town, while the nearby Vaches Noires cliffs expose layers long known for marine fossils. Houlgate also lies close to the Dives estuary, where beaches, dunes and marshland shape the Calvados coast.
