Cabourg

Cabourg (French pronunciation: [kabuʁ] ⓘ; Norman: Cabouorg) is a commune in the Calvados department, region of Normandy, France.

The proximity of the sea limits large variations in temperature and creates winters without much frost and summers without excessive heat.

According to Marcel Proust's biographer George D. Painter: But the 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 accessible to 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.

SU Dives-Cabourg is the local football team, after the merger of AS Cabourg with Sport Union Divaise in May 2016, it is based in neighbouring Dives-sur-Mer.
