Welcome to the Saint-Pierre-sur-Dives market

Considered one of the most beautiful and authentic in France, the market of Saint-Pierre-sur-Dives is an experience in itself. On Monday mornings, history comes alive beneath the impressive 11th-century oak frame of the medieval market hall. In this cathedral-like setting, bathed in a soft light that seems to have permeated centuries, beats the vibrant heart of the Pays d'Auge. Between the massive pillars, the stalls overflow with treasures: bottled ciders, free-range poultry, still-warm teurgoule (a traditional Norman rice pudding), and the famous local cheeses. Beyond the flavors, it's a unique atmosphere, filled with genuine encounters and cheerful chatter, that stretches all the way to the foot of the imposing Abbey. A stroll here is a sensory journey where every step resonates with the purest Norman tradition. The Saint-Pierre-sur-Dives Market takes place every Monday morning from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. under the medieval market halls and in the surrounding square.

Winner of a dozen international competitions (Grand Prix Musical Lauredia 2023, 1st Prize at the PIF Castelfidardo International Competition 2021, 3rd Prize at the World Accordion Trophy 2021), Julien is regularly invited abroad (Japan, Serbia, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain), and to perform on France Musique and RTS. He has been invited to the Radio France Montpellier Festival, La Folle Journée in Nantes, La Folle Journée in Tokyo, Pianoscope Festival, Piano à Riom, Festival de La Vézère, Flâneries Musicales in Reims, Colmar International Festival, and more.

"A genius arranger" (Radio France), he revisits Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue, Ravel's Boléro, and Mozart's The Magic Flute with guitarist Sotiris Athanasiou on their album "Argos – Masterworks" (November 2025, DiscAuvers). Julien is also a composer and performs his music in concert, with pieces such as Mechanics and his Sonata for the Resurrection, a duo with violinist Thomas Briant. These award-winning and critically acclaimed works contribute to expanding the instrument's repertoire.
