PONT-AUDEMER, a town of France, capital of an arrondissement in the department of Eure, on the left bank of the Rille, which here becomes navigable, 38 miles N.W. of Evrua. It is a prettily-situated, clean, and well-built town, surrounded with walls and ditches. Here tanning is the staple employment of the people; there are no fewer than forty tanneries, besides currieries and establishments for dressing leather. Even one of the churches, that of Notre Dame des Prés, has been converted into a tan-house. This building, and the churches of St Germain in the suburbs, and of St Ouen and St Sepulchre, are architecturally interesting. Pont-Audemer has also public baths and a small theatre. There is some trade in hides, leather, corn, cider, flax, and other articles. Pop. (1856) 5832.
