Dernier bain de mer de l'année

The Thursday 31 December at 14 a.m00

Plage devant le Grand Hôtel 14390 CABOURG

To round off 2026 on a note that’s as chilly as it is festive, the traditional last sea swim of the year is back on Cabourg beach!

Since 2015, this event – now a must-attend – has brought together the most daring of swimmers in a delightfully retro atmosphere. Dressed in period 1900s swimwear, young and old alike come together for a thrilling experience, from a warm-up to music on the beach to a fanfare-led plunge into the water.

After the swim, participants are treated to a drink, along with a certificate of participation to serve as a memento of this refreshing and original experience. A lovely way to round off 2026 and kick off 2027 with energy. Participants will also be treated to a drink!

Timetable:
– 2.00 pm: Get changed at the bathing house
– 2.30 pm: Swim on the beach in front of the Grand Hôtel de Cabourg

1900s-style swimwear is compulsory (to be approved by the association).
Swimwear hire for adults, teenagers and children is available from Cabourg 1900 (subject to availability).

Registration is compulsory by email before 30 December: [email protected]
