About Cabourg Beach
A 4-kilometer fine sand beach on the Normandy coast, famous for its connection to Marcel Proust who spent summers here from 1907-1914 and immortalized it as 'Balbec' in his novel In Search of Lost Time. 6 kilometers, lined with ornate Belle Époque villas built by wealthy Parisians in the late 19th century. The Grand Hôtel, where Proust stayed in room 414, overlooks the beach from its central position.

Cabourg has a unique fan-shaped urban design created by architect Charles Duval in 1855, with all streets radiating outward from the Grand Hôtel and Casino at the center like spokes of a wheel. This distinctive layout means every major street offers a direct view toward the beach.
