It is a small, friendly town that combines old heritage, a marina and nature.<\/p><h3>A town linked to William the Conqueror<\/h3><p>In 1066, William the Conqueror gathered his fleet at the mouth of the Dives before setting off to conquer England. This past is still very present in the town.<\/p><h2>What to see in Dives-sur-Mer?<\/h2><h3>The Notre-Dame church<\/h3><p>A listed historic monument, the Notre-Dame church was largely rebuilt in the Gothic style at the end of the Middle Ages. It is the town&#8217;s best-known monument.<\/p><h3>The medieval market hall<\/h3><p>With its huge timber frame, the market hall of Dives-sur-Mer is one of the finest in Normandy. It still hosts the market on Saturday mornings.<\/p><h3>The Guillaume-le-Conqu\u00e9rant village<\/h3><p>In the old centre, this lovely group of old buildings now houses shops and craftspeople. A pleasant walk back in time.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_77031\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-77031\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cparici.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Port-Guillaume.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-77031 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cparici.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Port-Guillaume.jpg\" alt=\"Port-Guillaume in Dives-sur-Mer\" width=\"1500\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cparici.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Port-Guillaume.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/cparici.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Port-Guillaume-300x106.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cparici.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Port-Guillaume-1024x362.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cparici.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Port-Guillaume-768x271.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cparici.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Port-Guillaume-18x6.jpg 18w, https:\/\/cparici.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Port-Guillaume-590x208.jpg 590w, https:\/\/cparici.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Port-Guillaume-1200x424.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cparici.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Port-Guillaume-577x204.jpg 577w, https:\/\/cparici.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Port-Guillaume-600x212.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-77031\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Port-Guillaume in Dives-sur-Mer<\/figcaption><\/figure><h3>Port-Guillaume<\/h3><p>Port-Guillaume is the marina of Dives-sur-Mer.
