Full description

Learn about the fascinating history of Caen, laying in the heart of Normandy, just 20km away from the landing beaches!

Caen became a strategic center during the Middle Ages thanks to William the Conqueror. Walk down the charming medieval streets with the half-timbered houses and contemplate the impressive facade of the Caen Castle, one of the biggest medieval fortresses in Europe!

Enjoy the special atmosphere of old times when passing the street "Rue Froide," full of unique small shops, bookstores, and artisans!

Caen will surprise you by the huge amount of churches, abbeys and cathedrals, many of them built by William the Conqueror!

Nicknamed "the city of tousends faces," Caen is really full of contrasts. Hardly destroyed by the bombardments, the city was successfully rebuilt. Today, you can experience the dynamic city full of hidden treasures waiting to be discovered with your guide.

Do not hesitate to personalize the tour; your private local guide will be happy to adjust the visit to your specific needs.
