Saint-Pierre-sur-Dives

Saint-Pierre-sur-Dives (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ pjɛʁ syʁ div] ⓘ, literally Saint-Pierre on Dives) is a former commune in the Calvados department in the Normandy region in northwestern France.

By that time it got its general current appearance: a long main nave with two aisles and five radiating chapels, in the Gothic style.

The hall was completely destroyed by fire during the German withdrawal from the area in the summer of 1944.

About a hundred calves are sold to the breeders every week as well as sheep, pigs and some goats.

Opposite the main hall is La Cour des Brocanteurs - a small courtyard selling second hand items, antiques, design, vintage, jewellery and outdoor furniture.
