Ancient fortifications which protected the town of Falaise, mainly known as the birthplace of William the Conqueror. Very beautiful and impressive building!

The Porte des Cordeliers is a medieval gate and one of the remains of the fortified enclosure which surrounded the town of Falaise, birthplace of William the Conqueror. The gate was built in the 13th century and was guarded by Franciscan monks, also known as Cordeliers. You can admire the architecture of the gate and its neighboring tower, as well as the view of the countryside and the Château de Falaise.

This magnificent medieval hall was built by the monks of the town's abbey from the 11th century. It is vast and still hosts markets today. Once inside, you will undoubtedly be impressed by the oak structure of the hall.

This is Marie Joly's grave. She was an actress in the 1700s and like many comedians today, she has a tragic history. She was a member of the Comédie-Française but, unfortunately, she was suspected of being a royalist and thrown into prison. While serving a short five-month sentence, she contracted tuberculosis and died at the age of 37. In recognition of his sad end, a stele dedicated to melancholy was erected next to his tomb.

An absolute must to visit here

Built on the initiative of the monks of the abbey between the 11th and 16th centuries, the imposing hall of Saint-Pierre-sur-Dives is one of the jewels of Norman medieval heritage. Ranked among the largest in France thanks to its 70 m long and 20 meters wide, it still retains its commercial vocation today by hosting the authentic Monday morning market and several annual fairs.
