Point of passage obliged towards the Coast or towards Paris, Pont-l'Évêque was always an important place of passage and trade (the barges descended the Touques).

In the Middle Ages, the city became an important administrative headquarters of the Vicomte d'Auge. Occupied by the English during the fifteenth century, then touched by the Wars of Religion, Pont-l'Évêque then experiences an era of calm and prosperity.

On August 24, 1944, after 3 days of combat, the city destroyed at 65% is released by the allies.

Visits, leisure and activities nearby

An old railway line was converted into a hiking trail, which starts near the city center. Under the branches, the trail leads to a tunnel (unfortunately closed for security reasons) of Saint-André-d'Hébertot. This trail overlooks many of these small roads that wind through the township by a bridge of bricks. Prohibits motor vehicles, parking several points, however, allow friends to come back walkers or cyclists who would or could consider making the round trip. Note: the course is possible for a wheelchair ride to the force of arms, starting from intermediate points.
