Description

Until 1851, Saint-Aubin, a fishermen's hamlet, was part of the commune of Langrune. The town was emancipated and owes its development to the sea bathing industry. The medicinal virtues of the sea water and its invigorating air earned it, and still earns it today, the appellation The Queen of Iodine. The Belle Epoque atmosphere of the seawall and its villas, the casino and the five restaurants on the seafront are a delight for holidaymakers. The 1.8 km long pedestrian seawall is lined with beautiful villas with seaside architecture. On the beach, you can see wooden poles connected by large ropes: these are the remains of the "rope bathing" era. They allowed bathers to enjoy the benefits of the water in complete safety. You can still hang on to them for safe bathing.
