View all offersAfter all these years, the five-star Le Grand Hôtel Cabourg - MGallery by Sofitel remains the perfect writer’s retreat, worthy of a budding Proust, who roams the premises in spirit. It hasn’t lost an ounce of charm since its first opening in 1907, standing ever more prestigious on the seafront: refined and full of character.
Abandoning his latest work, pen atop paper, and in need of some meditative contemplation, the hotel’s spa calls out to Proust. This sumptuous wellness centre offers a sauna, sensory showers, and beauty centre, with a range of relaxing massages and treatments by KOS Paris. Relaxed thereafter, he decides a bracing stroll in the fresh air would be just the thing to refocus him. And there is little that is more exhilarating than stepping onto the hotel’s private beach.
The sea air has stirred a hunger in Proust that only a hearty dinner in Restaurant Le Balbec can satisfy. Although reluctant to drag himself away from the beach, the shore continues its calming dance through the window as he peruses the exciting menu. He finally decides that the only thing that could end his meal on a higher note would be to delight in a digestif in the La Belle Époque bar, where brandy in hand, the music reminds him of past years.
Awakening afresh and with renewed creativity, Proust resists scribbling his flurry of ideas in favour of making the most of his complimentary breakfast. Greatness is never reached on an empty stomach.

Le Grand Hotel Cabourg - MGallery *****, the emblematic home of Marcel Proust, is situated next to the Casino de Cabourg just 1 minute's walk from the beach.
Caen–Carpiquet Airport (CFR), sits 6km (3.7 mi) to the west of Caen and around 45 minute's drive from the hotel. Receiving only a handful of national flights however, a transfer for example in Lyon is required.
Deauville–Normandie Airport (DOL), sits 7 km (4 mi) east of Deauville and around 36 minute's drive from the hotel. However, it is also little served.
Rennes–Saint-Jacques Airport (RNS), sits about 6 km (3.7 mi) southwest of Rennes and around 2 hours and 30 minute's drive from the hotel. The airport receives mostly national flights, so a transfer via another French city, for example Paris or Lyon, is likely required.
We otherwise recommend flying to Paris and taking a train, car or bus from there.
