    The monastery of Saint-Étienne in Caen is a former Benedictine abbey and, like the abbey church of Saint-Étienne, goes back to William the Conqueror, who made the city his capital in 1060 thanks to this monastery foundation. The buildings are regarded as the culmination of Norman architecture and the completion of Romanesque in the transition to Gothic. William the Conqueror was buried in Saint-Étienne.

        Very nice view of the apse of the St Etienne abbey from the esplanade. Do not hesitate to go around to admire the west facade and the old cloister
