Tips from the Community
These huts disappeared during World War II under German occupation, but were rebuilt after the war upon liberation, and more huts were added to complete this charming hut village. They are now privately owned and carefully preserved by the family from generation to generation. Today, they provide space for equipment for going to the beach or fishing on foot. Today, there are 69 such huts, which are part of the municipal heritage and subject to very strict regulations. According to the PLU, the construction of new ones is also prohibited.

The cabins, with their colorful roofs, are an integral part of the landscape of Gouville-sur-Mer. About 100 years ago, sea bathing became popular, and with this "fashion" came many tourists to our coast. The hotel, located not far from the site where the cabins were built, offered its guests the opportunity to change on the beach in a cabin built in the same style as today's cabins in the dunes. Over time, several more cabins were built for vacationers in the dunes.
