Pont-l'Évêque, Administrative center in Calvados, France.

Pont-l'Évêque sits at the confluence of three rivers - the Touques, Calonne, and Yvie - surrounded by Norman pastures and timber-framed buildings.

The town, named after a bridge built by the bishops of Lisieux, changed names during the French Revolution to Pont-Châlier, Pont-Chartier, and Pont-Libre.

The Saint-Michel church exhibits architectural elements from multiple periods, featuring a western tower with buttresses and slate-covered arched roof.

The commune provides water activities at a 190-hectare lake, created from a former quarry used during the construction of the A13 highway.

Three separate waterways flow through the town, offering opportunities for sea trout fishing in their waters.
