Thanks to its remarkable heritage, Dives-sur-Mer is a unique destination on the Côte Fleurie coast. The town centre boasts a wealth of listed monuments: the medieval market, a local hotspot since the 15th century, the Bois-Hibout Manor, an elegant 17th century seigniorial dwelling, the Church of Notre-Dame, built as a pilgrimage site in the 11th century. Dives-sur-Mer is also home to the harbour from where William the Conqueror’s fleet set off on its way to England in 1066. Remnants of this historic episode can be found here and there in the town. A list of the names of William the Conqueror's 475 companions is engraved in stone above the church’s porch entrance. In the William the Conqueror Village of Art, a former post house converted into an inn in the 19th century, you can see a copy of part of the Bayeux Tapestry (Tourist Office hall). The Port Guillaume marina is one of the other assets of this coastal town. The sailing school offers visitors and locals the opportunity to indulge in sailing, be they beginners or experienced seafarers. Several boat trips are organised by the master’s office and by other service providers. A pedestrian footbridge offers direct access to Cabourg beach. The fishing port also has its own fish market, open in the mornings all year long. For further information, the team at the Tourist Office is always delighted to help.

This former coaching inn on the coastal road from Caen to Rouen partly dates from the late 15th century. Several celebrities have stayed here. In the late 19th century, when sea bathing was in vogue, rich clients took up residence and the inn enjoyed its most prosperous years under Monsieur Le Rémois. An avid art enthusiast, he adorned the Norman-style buildings with medieval or Renaissance style wood carvings. He purchased 17th and 18th century statues, vases and busts, which he had installed in the courtyard. The Village of Art is open to visitors. Inside, you will find the Tourist Office, housing an exhibition of 14th century stained glass windows, named the ‘Anges Musiciens’ (musician angels).

From 1957 to 1984, Euclides Ferreira Da Costa enhanced his garden by creating picturesque artistic installations using chips of old plates and glass to form a mosaic: chapels, mills, frescos… a world that is as religious as it is naive and poetic, the world of this self-inspired artist. Open in the high season (once a week, from mid-July to mid-September and during the European Heritage Days). Group visits on request.

This manor house was built in the 17th century by Leduc de la Falaise, who was valet to the French King Louis XIV. It was later owned by a Lord from Bois-Hibout, to whom it owes its present-day name. Transformed to house a Gendarmerie in the 19th century, the building is also referred to as the ‘Lieutenancy’. The façade still bears the traces of former openings. They probably mark the presence of a former wing, perpendicular to the present-day building, which was destroyed in the early 20th century. They can still be seen on old postcards of the site. The manor was built in Caen stone on a sandy base. It has no foundations but lies on walls of a width of two metres.

Originally built in the 11th century, and completed in the 14th and 15th centuries, the church is particularly relevant to the story of William the Conqueror. A list of the names of William the Conqueror's 475 companions is engraved in stone above the porch.

Dives-sur-Mer’s indoor market bears witness to this highly active trade point that probably dates back prior to the 11th century. Dating on structural wooden beams conducted in 2012 has established that the market’s construction dates from the early 15th century, between 1405 and 1423. The building comprises a central nave and two symmetrical side aisles. The roof frame is supported by a series of 66 oak pillars, as were all major constructions at the time. The market was originally an open building, up to the early 20th century. The present-day side aisles were recently added, in typical Pays d’Auge half-timbered style, comprising a wooden skeleton with cob (a mix of clay and hay) between the beams. The roof is covered with old tiles produced from local clay. The wooden framework is in its original state. In the 1950s the eastern side of the market was closed. The floor was paved, which increased the level by around 20cm, and windows were added to the roofing to allow for natural light. The building houses a highly popular market on Saturday mornings, where you can find an excellent choice of regional fare.

Gastronome and neat. Notice to the amateurs of fine cuisine of the soil and the sea, and of some "canaille" preparations which make the reputation of the Chef Thierry Ramard. You will appreciate the two different atmospheres in this house: contemporary atmosphere around the fireplace or bright in the veranda. The former "Pied de Cochon" became "Au Pied des Marais" is located at the exit between Cabourg and the Golf du Home, in the direction of Ouistreham by the coast (D514).
