Nestled in the Calvados region, Cabourg is the perfect destination for a couples’ weekend getaway. Its beach, elegant villas, vibrant town center, and wellness-focused activities make it an ideal choice for a romantic stay.
No visit would be complete without exploring the famous Marcel Proust Promenade, one of France’s most iconic seafront walkways. This pedestrian avenue stretches nearly 4 kilometers along the sea, offering spectacular views over the Channel. It’s perfect for a romantic walk any time of day. Stop at one of the seafront restaurants to enjoy their beautiful terraces, or explore the side streets to admire the region’s typical villas, all testament to the Belle Epoque era.
What could be simpler and more romantic than a picnic on the beach? Whether during a morning escape or at sunset, Cabourg’s vast beach with its soft sand and open horizon is perfect for this timeless moment. Spread your blanket facing the sea, open a bottle of Pays d’Auge cider, savor some Norman cheeses… and simply enjoy. Cabourg is one of Normandy’s most sought-after spots for its unspoiled spaces and peaceful atmosphere.
For a more spirited outing, treat yourselves to an evening at the Cabourg Racecourse, renowned for its trotting races. You’ll find an atmosphere that’s both festive and elegant, with night events organized in summer. Place a bet on a horse and share a drink in the stands for the full experience! Whether you’re novices or enthusiasts, you’ll create unforgettable memories.
Walking through Cabourg’s streets is like visiting an open-air museum. Rich in history, Cabourg boasts unique Anglo-Norman architecture, and you’ll be amazed by the distinctive character of each villa. Follow one of the town’s organized walking routes to discover the secrets and history behind each residence.
Immerse yourself in Norman authenticity by wandering through Cabourg’s Market Hall. You’ll find regional specialties: cheeses made from Norman cow’s milk, Isigny butter, Pays d’Auge apples, artisanal jams… A true delight for the senses and a wonderful opportunity to discover local flavors. This covered market is the best place to compose your picnic basket while chatting with local producers.
