Cabourg

Cabourg lies between the English Channel and the mouth of the River Dives in Normandy, a position that has shaped it as a seaside resort on the Côte Fleurie. Its broad sandy beach is edged by the Promenade Marcel Proust, a seafront walk that is central to the town’s layout. The Belle Époque Grand Hôtel, opened in 1907, recalls Marcel Proust’s stays in Cabourg; the resort helped inspire Balbec, the fictional coastal town in In Search of Lost Time. Villas, gardens and the casino retain the character of a planned resort developed from the late 19th century.
