By 1825 many spa guests flock to the coast of Normandy to take sea baths to treat all sorts of ailments. At that time, Cabourg is a small village inhabited by farmers and fishermen. In 1854 the hamlet is transformed into a seaside resort with a visionary businessman in Paris, Henri Durand-Morimbau.
