It was from Cabourg that William the Conqueror drove the troops of Henry I of France back into the sea in 1058. Cabourg is famous for being Marcel Proust’s favorite vacation place at the beginning of the 20th century; it is the original of Balbec, the seaside resort in Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past.
