    The Paléospace l'Odyssée is a museum located in Villers-sur-Mer. It is dedicated to the Greenwich meridian, the Villers-sur-Mer marsh and the fossils discovered on the site of the Vaches Noires cliffs. It is the only site in Normandy which is interested in paleontology. The museum is also equipped with a planetarium.

      The Paleontological Museum on the western edge of the town depicts the history of Les Vaches Noires (the coastal cliffs). An explanation is given of what fossils are and how they are formed and you will see specimens found at Les Vaches Noires: molluscs, coral over 100 million years old, jaws and skulls of crocodiles, impressive teeth of marine reptiles and so on. A small room focuses on keeping meteorological data and measuring space. Skeletons hang from the ceiling and also the armchair of Ferdinand Postel (a photographer from the 198th century) is there, made of reinforced concrete decorated with fossils of ammonites and the nautilus, which all together create a nice atmosphere.
