The Abbaye aux Hommes adjoins the town hall of Caen, these two monuments alone are worth a detour. Push the door of the abbey to discover the ancestral beauty of this place.

The former Benedictine abbey with the monastery church of Saint-Étienne was founded by William the Conqueror in Caen, built from 1060 onwards, but probably not completed until after 1090. From 1120/25 onwards, six-part cross-ribbed vaults were installed in the originally flat-roofed building, which are among the oldest in France.
