Immerse yourself in the History of Caen: Abbeys, Memorial and Historic Centre with Clévacances
Caen, the emblematic city of Normandy, invites you on a journey through time. From its impressive abbeys to its memorial dedicated to peace, via its heritage-rich historic centre, Caen offers an unparalleled cultural and historical experience. Clévacances accompanies you on your discovery of this city steeped in history, with a selection of gites, B&Bs, and holiday rentals for an unforgettable stay.
The Abbeys of Caen: A Medieval Heritage
The Men's and Ladies' Abbeys, founded by William the Conqueror and his wife Matilda, are masterpieces of Norman architecture. The Abbaye aux Hommes, now the Hôtel de Ville, is impressive for its architectural harmony and its Saint-Etienne church, while the Abbaye aux Dames and its Trinité church tell the story of Mathilde of Flanders. These places, steeped in spirituality and history, are must-sees in the city.
The Caen Memorial: Window on Contemporary History
The Caen Memorial, more than a museum, is a centre for peace that traces the history of the 20th century, marked by global conflicts. Through immersive and educational exhibitions, the Memorial offers a reflection on war and peace, paying tribute to the victims of conflict and underlining the importance of historical memory.
The Historic Centre of Caen: A Journey through Time
The heart of Caen, with its cobbled streets, half-timbered houses and lively squares, is an invitation to stroll and discover. Between the Château de Caen, one of the largest medieval castles in Europe, the churches of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Jean, and the many museums, the historic centre is a veritable open-air history book.
