Why visit Villers-sur-Mer?
Why visit Villers-sur-Mer? Three answers, a one-day itinerary, and a simple solution to get there at the time that suits you.
Villers-sur-Mer is crossed by the Greenwich Meridian and bordered by a beach that stretches for several kilometres. Beach, the Villers marshes and palaeontology: the resort appeals as much to children as it does to walkers.
Located in Calvados, about 210 km from Paris and 115 km from Rouen, Villers-sur-Mer is suitable for both a day trip and a weekend. The town is easy to get around once you are there: it is the outward journey and the evening return that need to be organised.
