Caen Travel Highlights

A magnificent medieval castle towers over Caen—it was here that William the Conqueror set out to conquer England. A walk among the stones of the medieval abbeys of Tapestry and St. Stephen's reveal great masterpieces created by Normandy's talented craftsmen. A trip to the D-Day beaches is a must, as are visits to the WWII museum and Memorial Museum, both dedicated to those who fought for France during WWII.
