The place is very beautiful with great old villas, a nice beach with a small bar (in a cart).

Veulettes-sur-Mer is a small village with just 300 inhabitants. The 1.5 km long promenade dam protects the village from the sea during storms. Above on the rocky cliffs there are some restored bunkers, which are equipped with plenty of information boards

It's nice to cycle through the village and look at the different houses.

As Austrian cyclists, we were particularly surprised to discover that Empress Elisabeth also enjoyed the fresh air of Normandy here in 1875! We can well understand this when we look at the castle and the beautiful landscape!

Beautiful entrance gate to a private castle.

The Château d'Auberville is a 16th century fortified residence, surrounded by vast outbuildings and equipped with a round tower, a polygonal tower and a richly sculpted door. You can run along the walls and admire the architecture and history of this place, property of the Toustain family, damaged during the Hundred Years War. The castle is not open to the public, but you can enjoy the view from the outside and imagine life in this ancient residence.

I know that Empress Sissi had a castle on Corfu! But she also had one in Normandy!

Formerly a fishing town, in the 19th century it became a popular tourist destination for high society who appreciated its small beach between the cliffs. It inspired several impressionist painters, including Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot and Camille Pissarro. Several seaside villas date from this period, which add to the charm of this hamlet bordered by the beach.
