Caen, the dynamism of Normandy
In the heart of Normandy, Caen is a city of rich heritage and contemporary energy. The city of William the Conqueror, Caen has preserved its glorious past in the form of an imposing château and the majestic Abbeys aux Hommes and aux Dames. Its lively alleyways, markets and quays along the Orne offer a warm, lively atmosphere.
A witness to history, Caen is home to the Memorial, an essential museum dedicated to peace and the Second World War. Just a few kilometers away, the D-Day beaches and cliffs of the Calvados region offer emotionally-charged panoramas. Between culture, nature and the gentle pace of life, Caen is a city that brilliantly combines memory and modernity.
