Discover Caen in the city center

Totally impressive. You should stop by.

The first trotting race was organized in the Prairie on August 26, 1837, by the Caen Agricultural and Commercial Society. On February 13, 1839, the city decided to create a permanent racecourse. In August of the following year, it was agreed to build stands to accommodate spectators. In 1845, the earth from the digging of the Caen-Sea Canal was dumped into the Prairie to build the racecourse. On October 21, 1864, the Society for the Encouragement of the Improvement of the French Half-Blood Horse was created in Caen to regulate the trotting racing code for the whole of France.

Perfect marina for racing

Ideal place for jogging

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.

Located only twenty kilometers from the English Channel and the landing beaches, Caen is also the City of William the Conqueror. This is evidenced by the imposing Ladies' Abbey, the Men's Abbey and the castle, all three built at the beginning of the 11th century. Be sure to visit the Caen Memorial, designed to commemorate the Battle of Normandy. You will also surely enjoy a stroll through the small streets of the Vaugueux district, where Edith Piaf's family lived. There you will find many friendly restaurants serving traditional cuisine.

Nice parkway and the path goes around the horse race track.
