Discover Caen in the city center

Built between the 13th and 16th centuries, it plays with the transition of styles: radiant and flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance. It has a magnificent 14th century bell tower, almost 80 m high, which is currently being restored. Particularly worth seeing are the vault of the choir, the chapels of the ambulatory in late Gothic style and the carved capitals of the third pillar of the nave on the north side, which depict four scenes from chivalric romances and satirical writings of the Middle Ages.

Once Caen is behind you, you will find the Vélo Francette cycle route. Here it takes the greenway of Suisse Normande through beautiful natural landscapes along the Orne.

The port city of Caen is strongly marked by its history. In fact, it is organized around its castle, built in the 11th century by William the Conqueror. There are also several places of remembrance of the Second World War. In addition to the historical aspect, Caen is also a nature city, crossed by the Orne and surrounded by large green spaces. It is very pleasant to get around by bike.
