Langrune-sur-Mer

Highlight • Other

The name of this seaside resort is of the same Scandinavian origin as Greenland's (and also means "green land" in Danish), probably because of the abundance of seaweed, which makes the air smell of iodine. The beautiful two-storey bell tower of the 13th century church resembles the Eglise Saint-Pierre in Caen

Built by Hector Guimard in 1899, this Art Nouveau-style villa is visible from the seafront in Hermanville-sur-Mer (Calvados). A tour can be planned to see another building of the same style, in Douvres-la-Délivrande (komoot.com/highlight/931211).
Note that the Hermanville seafront can be traveled by bike, for a superb ride.
