    This town is separated from Cabourg by the Dives estuary, the river from which the place takes its name. In the 11th century, William De Bastaard, Duke of Normandy, embarked in the old port of Dives-sur-Mer for the conquest of England.

      The village of William the Conqueror is a group of historic buildings located in Dives-sur-Mer, Normandy. It is a former coaching inn dating from the 15th century, which was transformed into an inn and decorated by an art collector named Le Rémois at the end of the 19th century. Le Rémois wanted to pay homage to William the Conqueror, the famous Duke of Normandy who conquered England in 1066. He installed wood sculptures, statues, busts and a fresco inspired by the Bayeux tapestry in the three village course.



      Today, the William the Conqueror art village is open free to the public. You can visit the tourist office, which exhibits 14th century stained glass windows representing musical angels. You can also meet artists, restorers, antique dealers and craftsmen who occupy the village's shops.

        The Village Guillaume le Conquérant is a former post station on the coastal route from Caen to Rouen. The buildings date back to the end of the 15th century. At the end of the 19th century, with the rise of the seaside resorts, a wealthy clientele finds their way to Dives-sur-Mer and the former inn experiences a golden age. The owner, M Le Rémois, renovates the Norman buildings with wood carvings in the style of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. In addition he buys statues, vases and busts of the 17th and 18th century, which he sets up in the courtyard.

        Today, the buildings include the Office de Tourisme.
