Dives-Cabourg station

Dives-Cabourg's station building

Dives-Cabourg is the railway station for the towns of Dives-sur-Mer and Cabourg. The station is built in Ouest architecture and is a terminus for the Côte Fleurie branchline to Trouville-Deauville. The trains between Trouville-Deauville and Dives-Cabourg only run in summer.[1]

The line from Mézidon opened in 1879 and extended to Houlgate in 1882. The line from Trouville-Deauville to Villers-sur-Mer and Houlgate opened two years later.

From 1892 to 1932, the station was served by the 600 mm (1 ft 11+58 in) narrow gauge railway of Chemins de fer du Calvados, linking it to Caen's Saint-Pierre station.

On Wednesday 12 May 2010, the goods yard building caught fire.[2] The fire was noticed early on and extinguished, saving the building.
