The Villa Maurice in Cabourg in the Calvados department is an example of the Belle Epoque villas built between the end of the 19th century and the start of the First World War. During this period stuck between two centuries and two wars, the seaside resorts flourished on the Normandy coast thanks to the arrival of the railway, which transformed travelers into tourists. The decorative techniques of the new architecture appeared in the treatment of the facades and the roofs. The balconies became loggias, the storefronts were adorned with pilasters, capitals, and mascarons, belvederes stood on the roofs ornate with finials, etc. As for the timber framings traditionally used in the Pays d'Auge, they largely contribute to the character of these Neo-Norman constructions.
