Chapel built by Duke William to commemorate the Truce of God, proclaimed at the Provincial Council of Rouen in 1047. This jewel completely unknown of the ducal heritage of the City of Caen must be associated with the Abbey aux Dames by the quality of its sculpture. It is open exceptionally for Heritage Days. Its foundation makes it the first Peace Memorial of Caen, nine centuries before the museum we all know
