At the beach of Villers-sur-Mer
Villers-sur-Mer beach is at the center of the world ... It is the first French city to be crossed by the Greenwich Meridian! The seaside resort also bears witness to the heyday with its picturesque villas along the beach. Particularity of this beach: the Black Cow Cliffs, geological curiosity dating from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods 4,5 km long and 100 meters high.
For the less relentless of history, the beach is the place of many summer events including the famous Sable Show festival and sports tournaments all summer!

The Black Cow Cliffs
It is a geological and paleontological gem made of alternating marl and limestone in which many fossils have been discovered. The most beautiful are exhibited at the Paléospace, a museum dedicated to paleontology and astronomy.
Protected natural area, the site must be respected (climbing is prohibited). The collection of fossils is accepted on the shore at the foot of the cliffs and on the sand.
Guided tours, courses and workshops are organized very regularly, check the dates and times on the agenda on our site.

The Paléospace
Ideally located next to the Marais de Blonville-Villers, near the beach and the Falaises des Vaches Noires, the Paléospace is an atypical museum which invites you to go back to Jurassic times, 160 million years ago, when a warm sea covered Normandy. Explore fossils, dinosaurs, the Greenwich meridian and space in the heart of the planetarium. Spectacular, interactive and sensory reconstructions make it a cultural, scientific but also fun place!
The nautical pole Villers-Blonville
The Pole Nautique Villers-Blonville (PNVB) was born from the merger of the Cerle Nautique de Blonville and that of Villers-sur-Mer, created in 1962. It is run by enthusiasts of light sailing and offers a wide choice of nautical activities .
Visit the base of Villers-sur-Mer to discover nautical pleasures and share the passion for the sea (depending on the weather).
