Varaville

Varaville has served as a rural parish in Normandy’s Pays d’Auge since the medieval period. The commune extends from the low-lying marshes near the Dives estuary to the English Channel coast at Le Home Varaville, where broad sandy beaches form part of the Côte Fleurie. Its old parish church recalls the area’s long agricultural settlement, while the surrounding coast was involved in Allied airborne operations during the Normandy landings of June 1944. Today, Varaville sits between the resort towns of Cabourg and Merville-Franceville, combining farmland, wetlands and a quieter stretch of the Calvados shore.
