Dives-sur-Mer

Dives-sur-Mer occupies the estuary of the River Dives on Normandy’s Côte Fleurie. Its harbour has long linked the town with the English Channel, and in 1066 Duke William of Normandy assembled part of the fleet for his conquest of England here before bad weather delayed the crossing. The timber-framed medieval market halls remain a focal point of the old centre. Across the estuary lies Cabourg, while the Port Guillaume marina underlines Dives-sur-Mer’s continuing connection with the water.
