Houlgate, on the Côte Fleurie in the Calvados department, has kept the Belle Époque seaside charm, with its elegant villas built on the seafront in the late nineteenth century. The four campsites listed here on this portal are all linked to the sea, in keeping with a resort entirely turned towards the Normandy coast.
The town benefits from a long fine sandy beach framed by the Vaches Noires cliffs, a remarkable geological site. It's a family-friendly camping destination on the Côte Fleurie, between Cabourg and Deauville, banking on Normandy's seaside heritage rather than the bustle of larger neighbouring resorts.
The Vaches Noires cliffs, at the edge of Houlgate, form a geological site known for its Jurassic fossils, regularly uncovered by erosion and sought after by amateur palaeontology enthusiasts. The walk at the foot of the cliffs, at low tide, offers one of the most spectacular landscapes on the Côte Fleurie.
Houlgate's seafront has kept its nineteenth-century seaside villas, evidence of the golden age of Normandy sea bathing, along with a casino that recalls that era. The resort is part of the Côte Fleurie, between Cabourg and Deauville, a coastline that inspired Marcel Proust. Between fossil-rich cliffs, a family beach and Belle Époque heritage, Houlgate remains a safe bet on the Normandy coast.
