Villerville Beach's promenade

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.
