The concept

Situated in the heart of Cabourg, the Villa du Temps retrouvé is a space consecrated to the heritage of the Côte Fleurie, to the imagination of Marcel Proust, and to the culture of the Belle Époque (Edwardian Era). The Villa serves as a place to better understand a time suspended between two centuries, between two wars, between two worlds. A time already modern but not quite yet contemporary. A place with Paris as the center of the world during the winter and the seaside resorts of the Côte Fleurie during the summer.

The Villa du Temps retrouvé is :

A house filled with artwork and history

Travel in time in the company of Marcel Proust. Dive into a journey where the atmosphere is enhanced by sound, musical, digital and fragranced scenography, as well as a selection of paintings, drawings and innovations from the period, loaned by illustrious institutions of regional, national and international influence.
