Places to see in ( Cabourg - France )
Cabourg is a seaside resort in Calvados on the Cote Fleurie near Deauville in Normandy. It is one of several resorts developed on this stretch of coast - known as the Cote Fleurie - between 1850 and 1880, and perhaps also the most family-friendly resort in the region. Cabourg owes its popularity to three things: the beaches, the interesting architecture and lively atmosphere in the town centre.
If you are looking for a good beach - indeed, a very good beach and certainly one of the best in this part of Normandy - Cabourg is perhaps the place you are looking for. As well as several kilometres of gentle sandy beaches you will find various activities available on the beach itself, such as wind-surfing, canoeing in the sea, volleyball, sunbathing, and other 'traditional' seaside activities such as golf, go-karts and swimming pools are close to hand, the promenade along the seafront is more than three kilometres long and pedestrianised (the longest in Europe) which makes it great for jogging enthusiasts.
Cabourg has a lively atmosphere as well as being very attractive which makes it a great holiday location. The main street has lots of bars and restaurants and interesting shops. It stretches between the imposing town hall and tourist office towards the Grand Hotel and Casino on the seafront.
In common with the other resorts along this stretch of coast Cabourg features a grand 'end of the 19th century' hotel (here the Grand Hotel) and a casino - the essential requirements of many a Normandy seaside resort, and key to providing the 'belle epoque' feel to the town, along with villas from the same period that you will see as you explore Cabourg. The Grand Hotel is on the edge of a large square surrounded by some really stupendous villas.
The styles vary but all are very ornate and decorated with balconies, brick patterns, elaborate roofs etc. Those built at the end of the 19th century tend to copy the half-timber style typical in the Pays d'Augue region of Normandy. To give extra authenticity to the 'belle epoque' aspect of the town, Marcel Proust stayed in the Grand Hotel each summer from 1907 to 1914 and used the town as a model for the town of Balbec in the novel 'In Search of Lost Time' (you could perhaps bring a copy to read on the beach). The long promenade on the edge of the beach is named after Marcel Proust. It was originally built to protect the sea-front villas but soon became popular for walks along the seafront.
Although Cabourg did not exist before the 19th century, the historic port area across the river from Cabourg at Dives-sur-Mer has a much longer history: it was from here that William the Conqueror set off to defeat England in 1066. The countryside around Cabourg is known as the Pays d'Auge, and is a lovely countryside of gentle hills, orchards and woodlands, containing numerous picturesque little villages.
The local Calvados tourist authorities propose various routes through the countryside to help you make the most of your visit, including the popular Normandy Cider route and others such as the Route des Moulins (traditional mills), the Route des Gorges de la Vire and the Route de la Suisse Normandie - ask for details in the Cabourg tourist office. If you only have time to visit one Normandy village near here we suggest Beuvron, one of our favourites. Back to the beach, don't forget to explore some of the other resorts along the Cote Fleurie - heading north-east from Cabourg these include Houlgate, Deauville, Trouville and Honfleur, among others.

Places to see in ( Caen - France )
Places to see in ( Caen - France )
Caen is a port city and capital of the department of Calvados in northern France's Normandy region. Its center features the Château de Caen, a circa-1060 castle built by William the Conqueror. It stands on a hill flanked by the Romanesque abbeys of Saint-Étienne and Sainte-Trinité, which date from the same period. The multimedia museum Le Mémorial is devoted to World War II and the 1944 Battle of Normandy.
Caen is located 15 kilometres (9.3 miles) inland from the English Channel, two hours north-west of Paris, and connected to the south of England by the Caen-(Ouistreham)-Portsmouth ferry route. Caen is located in the centre of its northern region, and it is a centre of political, economic and cultural power. Located a few miles from the coast, the landing beaches, the bustling resorts of Deauville and Cabourg, Norman Switzerland and Pays d'Auge, Caen is often considered the archetype of Normandy.
Caen is known for its historical buildings built during the reign of William the Conqueror, who was buried there, and for the Battle for Caen—heavy fighting that took place in and around Caen during the Battle of Normandy in 1944, destroying much of the city. The city has now preserved the memory by erecting a memorial and a museum dedicated to peace, the Memorial de Caen.
The castle, Château de Caen, built circa 1060 by William the Conqueror, who successfully conquered England in 1066, is one of the largest medieval fortresses of Western Europe. In repentance for marrying his cousin Mathilda of Flanders, William ordered two abbeys to be built on the Pope's encouragement:
Eglise St.-Etienne, formerly the Abbaye aux Hommes (Men's Abbey). It was completed in 1063 and is dedicated to St Stephen. The current Hôtel de Ville (town hall) of Caen is built onto the South Transept of the building.
Eglise de la Ste.-Trinité, formerly the Abbaye aux Dames (Women's Abbey). It was completed in 1060 and is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The current seat of the regional council (conseil régional) of Basse-Normandie is nearby.
Other attractions in ( Caen - France ) such as :
Jardin botanique de Caen, a historic botanical garden
Church of Saint-Pierre
Mémorial pour la Paix (Memorial for Peace) built in 1988, charting the events leading up to and after D-Day. It is an emotional presentation inviting meditation on the thought of Elie Wiesel: Peace is not a gift from God to man, but a gift from man to himself. The Memorial for Peace also includes an exhibit of Nobel Peace Prize winners and another one on Conflict Resolution in different cultures.
Parc Festyland, an amusement park to the west of Caen in the nearby town of Carpiquet. The park receives 110,000 visitors every year.
Mondeville 2 is a regional shopping centre in adjoining Mondeville.
Caen has a recently built, controversial guided bus system—built by Bombardier Transportation and modelled on its Guided Light Transit technology—and a very efficient network of city buses, operated under the name Twisto. Caen - Carpiquet Airport is the biggest airport in Lower-Normandy considering the number of passengers that it serves every year. Caen is served by the small port of Ouistreham, lying at the mouth of the Caen Canal where it meets the English Channel. Caen is connected to the rest of France by motorways to Paris (A13), Brittany (A84) and soon to Le Mans (A88–A28). Although a fraction of what it used to be remains, Caen once boasted an extensive rail and tram network. From 1895 until 1936, the Compagnie des Tramways Electriques de Caen (Electrical Tramway Company of Caen) operated all around the city. Caen also had several main and branch railway lines linking Caen railway station to all parts of Normandy with lines to Paris, Vire, Flers, Cabourg, Houlgate, Deauville, Saint-Lô, Bayeux and Cherbourg. Now only the electrified line of Paris-Cherbourg, Caen-Le Mans and Caen-Rennes subsist with minimal services.
