The Fonderie Cornille Havard is the heir to a long tradition of bell founders installed in Villedieu les Poêles since the Middle Ages. In the workshop built in 1865, a hundred monumental bells are born each year thus perpetuating the know-how and methods of the companions of the past. Renowned for its excellence, Cornille Havard has created the new bells of Notre-Dame de Paris. Also discover our temporary exhibition of photographs "Bells for the corsair city" retracing the project of the new bells of the cathedral of Saint-Malo. Come live and share the emotion of this unique place.
