This photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases the exterior of the Louis XIV Hostelry William the Conqueror in the picturesque commune of Dives-sur-Mer, located in the Calvados department of the Normandy region in France. The hostelry, now a renowned restaurant, is a testament to the rich history and ornate architectural traditions of the area. The image reveals an impressive facade of the 14th-century building, which has been skillfully restored and enhanced during the Louis XIV era. The unusual architectural design is characterized by its ivy-clad walls, intricate carvings, and the grand roofline adorned with ornate carvings of the Conqueror himself, William the Duke of Normandy, and other historical figures. The courtyard, not visible in this photograph, is believed to have been an essential gathering place for travelers and locals alike.
