Most of the action in the novel Search of Lost Time takes place in Paris and in two small French towns, Combray and Balbec, between the late 1870s and 1925. Combray, about fifteen miles southwest of Chartres, is the fictional name of a town known as Illiers in Proust’s time. In 1971, the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Proust, it was renamed Illiers-Combray. Balbec is the fictional name of Cabourg, a town near the sea in the Basse-Normandie region of France. Proust spent the summers of 1907 and 1914 in the Grand Hôtel at Cabourg.
