Description

Built in 1907 to serve Cabourg flourishing aristocratic tourist population in summer heat, the Grand Hotel has been entertaining guests for more than a century. One of its most regular guest was the world-renowned French author, Marcel Proust who found rest and inspiration in contemplating the changing tides.

Located in front of the Grand Hotel, along the English Channel in the Calvados region along the Dives River, on the Côte Fleurie (Flowery Coast). the stripped umbrellas seen here have been an icon alon the beach. This day the ominious clouds were hanging overhead seeming to be in sync with the direction of the closed up umbrellas. It was still early summer and learly evening, so the crowds were gone leaving just the umbrellas to decorate the beach.

Modern Cabourg began in 1853 with the arrival of two Paris financiers in search of a new site for a luxurious watering-place. The railway age had made the Normandy coast a favorite spot for holiday-makers. Dieppe, Trouville and Deauville to the east had already been discovered, but here the adventurers found a virgin expanse of barren dunes and level sea-sands ripe for development. By the 1880's a city of villas and hotels had arisen, whose centre was the Grand Hotel, and whose radii were traced by a fan-work of avenues shaded with limes and Normandy poplars.
