About Veules-les-Roses Beach
Veules-les-Roses Beach is a charming mixed pebble and sand beach nestled between dramatic white chalk cliffs on Normandy's Alabaster Coast. The beach is particularly unique because France's shortest river, La Veules (just 1,149 meters long), flows directly into the sea at its center. At low tide, fine sand emerges making it ideal for families with children, while a free paddling pool with slides and a playground add to its family-friendly appeal.

Victor Hugo, the legendary author of Les Misérables and The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, vacationed here four times. His favorite activity was walking along the riverbank, and he had a special 'grotto' on the coast where he sat contemplating the sea. In September 1882, Hugo organized a memorable banquet for the village's 100 poorest children, giving gifts and money to all - he declared that 'the raffle had only winning tickets.'
