This hotel was built in 1861, but renovated in 1907 to its current state. The same year, Marcel Proust stayed there. When he was ten years old (in 1881), he already stayed in Cabourg because of his asthma. Since then, the fashionable writer stayed every year at the Grand Hôtel until 1914. He was inspired by these experiences to write a portrait of beach life at the beginning of the 20th century and of the customs in Cabourg - "Balbec" - during the belle époque.
