Lovely building, containing a christ statue with a nice story. The christ on the cross they have in the church now is a copy after the original got destroyed during religious riots. The original statue got fished up by the fishermen of Dives sur mer but without the cross, all the carpenters tried to make a cross for it but failed. A while later the cross also got fished up out of the sea. Even if you're not religious you must admit it is a nice story. Somewhere to the side there is also a very nice modern artwork depicting a crossed christ figure with fishnets in his hair. The building has a lot of nice little details and is definitly worth a visit when you're around. 

In Marcel Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu, Dives-sur-Mer figures in part as the fictitious place "Balbec", and he mentions the Gothic church several times. This is the church of Notre-Dame de Dives. On the inside back wall, over the large entrance door, are the names of all of William the Conqueror's companions who sailed with him to England in 1066.
