Villers-sur-Mer

Villers-sur-Mer (French pronunciation: [vilɛʁ syʁ mɛʁ] ⓘ) is a commune in the Calvados department in Normandy, northwestern France, with a population of 2,644 as of 2017.

[3] The commune is located on the French coast of the English Channel, on the Côte Fleurie, between Deauville and Houlgate, approximately 200 km from Paris.

Remains include marine reptiles, in particular teleosaurids (Steneosaurus heberti) and metriorhynchids, coelacanths, a huge suspension-feeding fish Leedsichthys and dinosaurs.

There is a small museum in the enclosure of the office of tourism, which has an outline of the resources and discoveries, along with the Paléospace l'Odyssée, which covers topics as varied as the Greenwich Meridian, the nature and history of the marshland surrounding the town, and fossils found in the nearby Vaches Noires cliffs.

[3] On the beach of Villers-sur-Mer (last stretch of rue Alfred Feine), the famous last scene of the first film by François Truffaut was shot: Les Quatre Cent Coups ends with a freeze frame of its boy hero running towards the sea.
