L'éventail

14390 Cabourg

When the seaside resort of Cabourg was founded in 1853, Henri Durand Morimbau, a Parisian businessman, entrusted the town planning of the future Cabourg to a local architect, Paul Leroux, who opted for a radial-concentric layout reminiscent of that of Greco-Roman theatres. Such a layout allows the avenues to converge on a central square, the theatre’s stage: the Jardins du Casino. Now known as ‘l’éventail’, this neighbourhood is the town’s historic Belle Époque centre, where the avenues are lined with over 150 villas dating from the second half of the 19th century.
