Cabourg is famous for being Marcel Proust's favorite vacation place at the beginning of the 20th century and witnessed the historic departure of William the Conqueror in 1066.

In more recent times, towards the end of the last century, the seaside resort came into its own as the fashion for bathing swept Europe, led by no less a figure than the Empress Eugenie of France, wife of Napoleon 3. This resulted in the flowering over side villa along the coast line and the building of the first Casino Grand Hotel.

Cabourg has retained all the style and charm of the Belle Epoque, whilst at the same time offering an exceptionally wide range of sporting and leisure activities, including an 18 hole golf course which is one of the most original courses in the region. Property in France
