A former tanning town, the small town of Pont-Audemer, also known as Norman Venice, stands in a pleasant spot between two arms of the River Risle joined together by canals. The many waterways that run through the picturesque, charming historic centre add to the charm of the place. The typical half-timbered houses reflected in the water of the Risle, the small bridges over the canals, the tanners' old washing and drying houses, and the Church of St. Ouen which combines Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance styles with its splendid 15th and 16th-century stained glass windows, are some of the many attractions to discover on a walk through the town...
In June and July, the Mascarets Festival offers street performance, family fun, sports and musical activities, a night-time craft market and more, all in an atmosphere of joy and good humour!
