Le Pré de la Bataille is a Rouennaise association created in 1892. Today, it is recognised as being of public utility and manages four establishments and services of assistance through work.

The association opens the doors of its workshop where you can discover the processes of creation of chocolates, sugars, and other sweets, sold in the shop and on the association's website. A very good initiative!
