Very narrow, gullied downhill passage. The path is so damaged due to the rains that you often have to walk in quite deep ruts.

Laborious journey. Unmaintained path (June 20) barely visible, tall grass.

Here you will find a vineyard behind the slopes of small limestone cliffs. This appellation has been cultivated for hundreds of years because it benefits from an exceptional microclimate and terroir. The trail that goes through this place gave it its name and I would love to see pictures of the rocks that these medal-winning vines plunge into.

The abbey is a former Benedictine monastery founded in the 10th century by the Countess Lesceline who, when the abbey was completed, installed Benedictine nuns there. She moved the nuns in 1046 and installed Benedictine monks before dying 12 years later in 1058. Her remains were buried in the church and can still be seen there today.

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.

Very beautiful moated castle with a "pigeon hotel" for 2000 pigeons for the production of pigeon droppings as fertilizer

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.
