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.
