A 1,500 m² covered, heated water park, cottages for 4 to 8 people and the beach 50 m away, in Luc-sur-Mer. Saint-Aubin, its seafront and Juno Beach are at the end of the promenade.
Looking for a campsite in Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer? La Capricieuse is in Luc-sur-Mer, the neighbouring resort, four kilometres away along the seawall: walk to Saint-Aubin beside the sea, or drive there in five minutes. You enjoy the same Côte de Nacre coastline, plus a covered, heated water park that ignores the weather, from April to November. Saint-Aubin has kept its sea-bathing villas, a seafront that buzzes in summer and the memory of 6 June 1944: its beach belongs to the Nan Red sector of Juno Beach, where the North Shore Regiment from New Brunswick landed under fire from a bunker that still stands on the seawall.
Indoor leisure pool at 30 °C with water slide, paddling pool at 32 °C, hot tub at 31 °C and 22-metre outdoor swimming pool at 29 °C, from 2 April to 7 November 2027.
The seawall crosses Langrune and arrives in the heart of Saint-Aubin: you walk above the beach the whole way, with the sea on your right.
The right flank of the bunker still bears the mark of a tank shell fired on 6 June 1944.
It belonged to the German strongpoint WN 27, which held the beach at Saint-Aubin. The 50 mm anti-tank gun is still in its casemate, facing the sand, and the concrete still bears the scars of the shells. You see it as you stroll by, no ticket, no opening hours.
The promenade runs from Place de Verdun to Langrune, lined with Belle Époque villas and their ornate balconies; the Art Nouveau Villa La Loggia is a fine example. In summer, café terraces spread out facing the sea, perfect for a drink while the tide comes in.
Between Luc and Saint-Aubin, the seawall crosses Langrune-sur-Mer. Its 13th-century Saint-Martin church has one of the finest towers in Calvados: worth a five-minute detour up into the village.

On the morning of 6 June 1944 it landed on the Nan Red sector, in front of Saint-Aubin, facing the seawall strongpoint. An Acadian memorial honours them in the town, and every August the Acadian Week keeps alive the bond between the Côte de Nacre and Acadia. Discover the Acadian Week
