Holiday rentals in Villers-sur-Mer

Discover Villers-sur-Mer and the surrounding area on holiday

Villers-sur-Mer has many assets to make it the ideal destination for your next holiday. First and foremost, its fine sandy beach, almost 2 km long. With a shallow entrance to the sea, it is ideal for families with children. During your stay, you can have fun trying to find fossils! You can keep the fossils you find in the sand, but of course you're not allowed to damage the rocks on the cliffs to look for them. And if you want to learn more during your stay, head to the Paléospace. This archaeological museum is mainly dedicated to fossil finds, but also to the Greenwich meridian. In fact, Villers-sur-Mer is the entry point for the Greenwich Meridian in continental Europe. The town is the only French coastal resort to be located on this meridian. For history and art lovers, we suggest you visit the 18th-century timber-framed Manoir presbytéral and the Musée Paléontologique. From your holiday rental, discover the church of Saint-Martin, built in the 19th century. It is Gothic in style and boasts impressive and important stained glass windows, also dating from the 19th century. During your holiday in Villers-sur-Mer, you can also admire several Belle Epoque villas in the town, evidence of this great period. Nearby are Houlgate and Cabourg, with their beautiful beaches, Deauville and its luxurious, chic atmosphere, Dives-sur-Mer and its medieval ambience, Trouville and its 19th-century villas, and the many half-timbered houses of Beuvron, one of the most beautiful villages in Normandy. Beuvron is on the Normandy Cider Trail, as is Cambremer, a pretty, picturesque little village. Around twenty kilometres from your accommodation in Villers-sur-Mer, you can visit Le Havre, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
