Caen tours

For nearly 1000 years, Caen stood tall — a testament to the power of the Norman king William the Conquorer. But the city was no match for WWII bombing, which flattened three quarters of the buildings. Today this city in northern France serves as a hub for visitors exploring Normandy. Take a Caen private tour and explore the Normandy region of northern France with a local guide. Despite being nearly flattened in the fighting, Caen's city centre contains some architectural gems. Meet your guide at Place Saint-Pierre for a walking tour that includes the Abbaye aux Hommes, used by civilians to shelter during the war, followed by the 11th century Vieux Palais. The coast north of Caen was a major landing site for allied troops. Our guides offer private tours of Juno, Sword and Pegasus beaches, as well as the cemeteries and memorial sites. For off-the-beaten path adventures, ask your guide to organize a tailor-made trip to rural villages and nature spots in Normandy
