A l’extrémité du Vieux Bassin se dresse la Lieutenance, ainsi appelée parce que ce monument servait à partir du XVIIème siècle de logis au Lieutenant du Roi. C’est le seul vestige important des fortifications de la ville, remanié au cours des siècles, surtout au XVIème et XVIIème siècles. Aussi est-il bien difficile aujourd’hui d’y reconnaître les traces de la porte fortifiée, dite « Porte de Caen », qui commandait au Moyen-Age, l’entrée de la forteresse honfleuraise. Cependant, en y regardant de près, on distingue encore des deux côtés des traces d’arrachement des anciens remparts, qui partaient de la Lieutenance pour entourer la ville forte. Ces remparts coupaient le Vieux Bassin actuel, qui était à l’origine beaucoup moins large.

VILLERVILLE BEACH'S PROMENADE, A WALK ON THE SIDE OF THE CLIFFS. Explore one of the landmarks of Villerville Beach, a village full of character with a picturesque town, old streets and colorful houses, some of which are half-timbered. 450 meters long, the Villerville promenade allows you to walk below the village built on the side of the cliffs, along the beach at low tide or at the edge of the water when the tide is high and it almost disappears. First built in 1810 in wood to protect the land sliding towards the sea, they were rebuilt in 1920 in concrete as we know them today. Access is via the center of Villerville, at the level of the old casino, by a small stone staircase halfway through the crossroads of the "Singe en Hiver" ("A monkey in Winter"), title from Henri Verneuil's movie shot in 1962 in Villerville with Jean Gabin and Jean-Paul Belmondo) now sign-posted in town. Another way is by the Parc des Graves, which allows you to reach the beach of Graves, wilder and ideal place for nature walks! On this side are also the Black Rock Cliffs (Roches Noires), 4 km long and 60 meters high, which alternate gentle slopes and steep walls.

From Trouville-sur-mer to Villerville, 4 km of clay cliffs line the coast, alternating gentle slopes and vertical walls, culminating at an altitude of 60 meters. Called "the Black Rocks", these geological formations owe their name to the large dark blocks scattered on the beach which come from limestone layers of the cliff and which have been covered by algae. This 135 hectare area is partly classified as a "Sensitive Natural Area" by the Calvados department. It is also a paleontological site where one can find fossils dating back to millions of years ago. Sensitive natural area, the coast of Villerville has long been marked by landslides from cliffs which spread blocks of rocks on the beach, thus forming the whole identity of this unique natural place. Its name comes from the Celtic name "grava" which means stone. Subject to numerous landslides, the area of ​​the 'Roches Noires' (Black Rock) cliffs, from Trouville-sur-Mer to Villerville, forms a constantly changing landscape. The cliffs by the sea are in perpetual motion. This instability is due to attacks from the sea and movement of loose ground phenomena which correspond to the sliding of the clayey layers of the subsoil after rainy episodes. As a result of these land movements, pioneer vegetation is often found on the scree of the cliffs. A multitude of natural environments follow one another from the sea to the top of the cliffs: beach, reefs, more or less steep cliffs, scree, thickets, dry lawns and wooded areas. 394 plants have been identified on this site, or nearly a third of the flora of the Calvados department. There are also rare species such as the Fuchs Orchid, an orchid of dry lawns or the sea cabbage, a nationally protected species, settling at the top of the beach. Rocky plateaus are also home to many species of birds (Oystercatchers, Curlews, Sandpipers, Gravelots, etc.) making this site a privileged migration and wintering spot.

THE GRAVES PARK: A GARDEN ON THE CLIFFS 800 meters of footpaths, including one leading directly to the beach, a play area and a gazebo, opening up a beautiful panorama of the coast, allow you to enjoy this space which descends from the top of the 'Black Rock' cliffs to the sea. Quiet park, classified as "Departmental Natural Area", where we find wild plant species, vestiges of pleasure gardens from the old days, as well as recent plantations and ponds. The "Hôtel des Graves" now houses ducks and moorhens. The Park is also home to six goats, known as ditch goats, nicknamed the "bramble-eaters" for their ability to swallow all kinds of plants. Their objective: to clear the entire surface and stop the proliferation of brambles and invasive plants on the site. More recently, five Warré hives, inhabited by black bees from Calvados, have been installed in the park in order to participate in their repopulation. Sensitive natural area, the coast of Villerville has long been marked by landslides from cliffs which spread blocks of rocks on the beach, thus forming the whole identity of this unique natural place. Its name comes from the Celtic name "grava" which means stone. There is a remarkable flora there: rare plant species (the maritime crambe, the Montpellier polypogon, the foul-eyed hellebore) and wild, vestiges of pleasure gardens from the old days, as well as recent plantations and ponds. Before being a nature reserve, the Parc des Graves was a place of dwellings for about fifteen houses. In 1982 a major landslide forced the inhabitants to evacuate the premises.

In 1840, the fishmonger was all wood. In 1880, it was replaced by a metal construction. The new fish market, with a neo-Norman style, arrived in 1937, under the leadership of Fernand Moureaux, mayor at the time, and was built by the architect Maurice Vincent. Since 1991, the fish market of Trouville-sur-Mer has been included on the list of historic monuments, an entry which had the effect of protecting the fishing port district. After a fire in 2006, the fish shop was rebuilt identically and reopened in 2011. The stalls in the hall are open every day of the year from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. OT Trouville
