    Until the middle of the 19th century, Cabourg was a small fishing village. In the 1850s, Henri Durand-Morimbau, a financier from Paris, developed the plan to build a "modern" seaside resort next to the "old" town. He founded a company that bought up the beaches. On behalf of the company, Paul Leroux, a young architect from Caen, designed the plan for the town of Cabourg-les-Bains. The first casino was built in 1854, and the first grand hotel followed in 1861. The town has retained its semicircular layout in the centre to this day; the streets, which radiate outwards from the Jardins du Casino, are lined with buildings from the Second Empire and the Belle Époque.

      This fashionable and artistic seaside resort is inextricably linked to Balbec, the "literary pseudonym" that Marcel Proust gave to Cabourg. The place hasn't changed since then. The Grand-Hôtel, which occupies the place of honour, is exactly as the author described it in his novel, the seawall remains the favorite promenade of bathers and visitors, and the Belle Epoque villas still line the avenues. However, this wonderful atmosphere of the past does not prevent the city from welcoming visitors with all the amenities of a 21st century seaside resort.

        Les Jardins du Casino is the urban center of the Cabourg-les-Bains, which spreads in several concentric crescents, as the planner Paul Leroux, a young architect from Caen, designed in the mid-19th century.
