Caen

Sometimes nicknamed "The Town of a hundred Bell-towers", Caen sits in the north-west of France, in Normandy, some 200km from Paris. "This country is beautiful, and Caen its most beautiful town" is how it was described by the writer Marie de Rabutin-Chantal.

The city of Vikings and William the Conqueror (around 1050), inherited an exceptional heritage, partly preserved up until the Second World War. Playing a key part in the Battle of Normandy, the town was destroyed, with just 30% of the town remaining by 1944. Caen has since kept the memory of its history in constructing the Museum of Peace. Replacing an old blockhouse, the Memorial of Caen provides a guided visit made up of films, objects of everyday life during the German occupation, and even an English "Hawker Typhoon" fighter plane, located right at the entrance. The town is situated a few kilometres away from the Landing Beaches, but also from famous seaside resorts of Deauville and Cabourg.

In spite of its destruction, Caen offers a very rich heritage, principally that built up by William the Conqueror and Mathilde of Flanders. Other than their ducal château - which has the most vastly fortified surrounding walls in Europe, and now houses the Museum of Normandy and the Museum of Beautiful Arts - the couple founded respectively "The Men's Abbey" and "The Women's Abbey", which, being at the top of a hill, offer a stunning panorama.

Visit the Memorial of Caen during one of the numerous Pariscityvision.com excursions in Normandy, such as D Day Landing Beaches in Normandy.
