Cabourg Casino Gardens

Highlight • Monument

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.

Cabourg Beach

Highlight • Beach

Beautiful fine sand beach lined with beautiful colorful villas. The beach here in front of the Grand Hotel is very lively. Moving away towards the dunes you can enjoy the calm and a wilder landscape.

The Dives Estuary

Highlight • Other

Leave the seaside to follow the Dives, a river that flows into the sea between the marina of Dives-sur-Mer and the dunes of Pointe de Cabourg.
Bordered by two paths, one on the Cabourg side, the other on the Dives-sur-Mer side, the river welcomes the yachtsmen's boats which are moored there, and the seabirds which come to rest there. The pedestrian bridge between Cap Cabourg and Port Guillaume allows you to reach the other side.
The ride, whether on foot or by bike, is all the more pleasant when the tide is high!

Houlgate Beach

Highlight • Beach

The column commemorates the departure of William, Duke of Normandy, at the Battle of Hastings.
In 1861, Arcisse de Caumont inaugurated it in the property of Count Foucher de Careil. In August 1966, the 900th anniversary of the departure, the column was transferred here, to the beach.
The Battle took place because the King of England, Edward the Confessor, died without an heir on January 5, 1066. Harold had himself crowned King of England even though William had been appointed by the king.
To recover the Crown, William prepared the attack from the port of Beuzeval-Dives by constituting an army of 8,000 men. After long months of preparations, the fleet of 1,400 ships set sail on September 12, but the men did not disembark at Pevensey until September 29, 1066 due to weather problems. During the battle on October 14, Harold was mortally wounded. After the submission of the English lords, William was crowned king of England on December 25, 1066.

Port Guillaume Marina

Highlight • Structure

A place steeped in history: from Dives, the Norman king Guillaume le Conquérant transferred his fleet to England in 1066.
Since the end of the 19th century Dives bears the suffix "sur mer" and has become a popular destination on the Côte Fleurie, although it has a harbor in the mouth of the Dives, but still, in contrast, contrary to the neighboring seaside resorts Cabourg (in the west) and Houlgate (in the east) is not really located by the sea.
