Everything about Dives River totally explained
The
Dives is a 105 km long
river in the
Pays d'Auge,
Normandie,
France. It flows into the
English Channel in
Cabourg.
The source of the Dives is near
Exmes, in the
Orne department. The Dives flows generally north through the following
departments and towns:
The Dives is officially navigable up to the bridge at
Putot-en-Auge although height restrictions apply. No
yachts or
fishing boats navigate the Dives further than the
Pont de la Dives linking
Dives-sur-Mer to
Cabourg, 1 km from the river's estuary on the
English Channel.
The last kilometre of the Dives is a large
meander encircling a man made harbour and the holiday resort of
Port Guillaume (William's harbour). The river is prevented from reaching the English Channel by a kilometre long
sand dune called
Le cap Cabourg.
The estuary of the Dives was the site of one of
William the Conqueror's most decisive victories in the year
1057, over the combined armies of
France and
Anjou. Later, in
1066, Duke William assembled his army and fleet for the invasion of
England at the exact same location as the earlier victory.
