Caen

Located in the heart of Normandy, the city of a hundred spiers was built on a strong history: the conquest of Normandy in the Middle Ages and the landing of the Allies during the Second World War. Dynamic and student city, it hosts a large number of museums and listed historical monuments. Its picturesque town center has beautiful shopping streets, majestic squares and a marina lined with restaurants and cafes. Caen is also the starting point for many escapades in Normandy, to the landing beaches, the Cotentin coast and the Albatre coast (which includes the cliffs of Etretat), and much more. Life is good in the capital of Calvados!
