City of Caen

Highlight • Settlement

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.

The Caen Sea Canal connects the English Channel to the Saint-Pierre basin in Caen. 14km long with two locks, the basin is bordered by a very pleasant paved cycle path.

A huge building with a large park.
Here is the translation of the information panel:
Bénouville Castle, built in the neoclassical style, is set in a beautiful park and was built between 1769 and 1785.
It is one of the few remaining examples of the work of Enlightenment architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux.
The department acquired the castle in 1927 and now wants to make it accessible to the widest possible public by opening it to visitors.
