GARE DE HOULGATE

Houlgate's station building.

'Houlgate' is the station for the town of Houlgate. The station is built in Ouest architecture and is on the Côte Fleurie branchline from Trouville-Deauville and to Dives-Cabourg.
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 but the station was then called ''Beuzeval-Houlgate'', followed by ''Houlgate-Beuzeval'' and finally Houlgate. A goods yard was in use until the mid 1990s as well as the station building (until 1996), the station is now only used as a stop by regional trains and tickets must be bought on-board trains.
The station building was renovated during Spring 2007. The station building was repainted and the main room reopened as a waiting room. The period clock on the station front was repaired.
