In the transition from Deauville to Caen, we popped into Cabourg which is on the way. We had an excellent and sophisticated (although pricey!) lunch at Le Balbec, the restaurant in the main hotel/casino.
We also had a bit of time to spare so we went to the Villa du Temps Retrouvé which is themed around Marcel Proust and a repository of style, technology and photos of the Belle Epoque sort of time. Proust spent a lot of time in Cabourg while writing, and (for some reason) used the town as “Balbec” in his master work.
