With a fresh and breezy seafront perspective and lovely, bright accommodation, Le Flaubert is a peach. Each room has its own personality, with ample wood, wicker chairs and the occasional pastel shade, but it's the position right by the beach that seals it. Sea-view rooms go like hot cakes, so book early in summer. Parking is €12 per day.
