Villerville,

the wild one

The narrow and colorful streets of Villerville, a picturesque village of character, lead down to the sea and its three beaches: the Grand Bec beach to the west, where you can see the steep cliffs of the Roches Noires - Pointe du Heurt at low tide, the Graves beach in the center and the Bains beach to the east. This last one is not accessible at high tide but you can walk along it on the dike which dominates it.

The must-haves

Walking at the foot of the Roches Noires - Pointe du Heurt

Partly classified as an "Espace Naturel Sensible", the Roches Noires - Pointe du Heurt stretch for 4 km between Trouville-sur-Mer and Villerville. These cliffs provide an excellent natural cross-section of geological formations from the Jurassic period, 160 million years ago, when Normandy was covered by a tropical sea.

Go fishing on foot

Whether it's cool, dry or sunny, you can fish on foot all year round in Villerville. Equipped with landing nets, buckets and even nets, go in search of shrimp and other hidden species of the sandy foreshore (shellfish only).

Stroll along the promenade

The 450 meter long Villerville dike allows you to walk below the village built on the cliffs, along the beach at low tide or at the water's edge when the tide is high and it almost disappears.

The Parc des Graves, from the top of the cliff to the sea

From the Parc des Graves, a descent to the sea from the top of the Roches Noires - Pointe du Heurt and a network of paths have been laid out. There is a remarkable flora: rare and wild plant species, remnants of former pleasure gardens, as well as recent plantations and ponds. A peaceful place to stroll, it is also a place to rest and have fun: children's playground, picnic tables and a petanque field are waiting for you.
