Over de locatie

Ancienne prison

Rue Eugène Pian, 14130 Pont-l'Evêque

Calvados

Normandie

Pont-l'Évêque prison was opened in 1823\. Its construction is, like the tribunal of Pont-l'Évêque, the work of the architects Harou-Romain, father and son. It is particularly known as 'La Joyeuse Prison', from the title of André Berthomieu’s film with Michel Simon and Darry Cowl released in 1956, which was inspired by the true story of a chief guard giving prisoners a little too much freedom.
Before that, she made the headlines by being the scene of the escape of the famous prisoner Renée La Canne in 1949.
