Having spent 10 years living in Caen, I will be happy to propose to you various walks through its historic centre that boasts of unsuspected treasures and some of my favorite local highlights! In Caen we will see fantastic old churches whose steeples were not touched by the bombing in June 1944. We will discover some new structures as well characterized by extremely particular architectural designs. The castle of William the Conqueror, the duke of Normandy, can not be avoided. It is situated on a rocky outcrop and overlooks the medieval district of rue du Vaugueux. The highlight of it is the archaeological remains of William's palace, known as the Vieux Palais (Old Palace). This tour is surprisingly rewarding: you will get pleasure of spending few moments exploring some ancient stones and get a delightful feeling of how the old harmoniously meets the present and new Caen lifestyle.
• Discover the medieval castle, built in the 11th century by the most famous of the dukes of Normandy, William the Conqueror. • Head to the lookout point to enjoy some other views of the city, dominated by the flamboyant Gothic spire of Church of St-Pierre. • Walk through the main streets of Caen city center: Rue Froide, Rue Saint Pierre are brimming with history and mystery! • Abbey for Men to hear the story behind the controversial marriage of William and Mathilda of Flanders. This former monastery is considered one of the most notable Romanesque buildings in Normandy. • As the city was terribly bombed during the Normand invasion, we will take the narrow paths and streets to see the destruction caused by the Battle of Normandy that took place here during World War II.
