What to do in
Caen ?

As the stage for the D-Day landings on the beaches of Normandy, Caen paid a heavy price during the Second World War. Less than half of the city was still standing when it was finally liberated. Part of its incredible heritage was lost - but only part! It found an energy that’s as powerful as it is positive that makes today's Caen a first-rate city for art and culture. Caen shines, and the only thing that shines brighter are its people.

    Caen and its region offer you a choice: with or without kids? Either way, you can be certain that both pleasure and adventure await! Only their nature changes.
    Heading for Normandy as a couple? Indulge your cultural side with the many museums and galleries the Calvados capital has to offer. Try your luck on the centuries-old green carpets of the Normandy coast casinos. Stroll hand in hand along the Honfleur quay or the Deauville boardwalk. Push through the doors of ancient timber-framed houses in Old Caen and sit down to a plate of tripe, the speciality the city is known for. Take a side trip to the country and discover just what can be done with an apple: try a glass of “calva”, cider, or Pommeau.
    Heading to Caen as a family? Celebrate the memory of those heroes who lost their lives from 1939-1945 by visiting the Caen Memorial Museum. Jump into the chilly waves of the Channel. Go back to the time of Normandy knights as you take in the famous Bayeux Tapestry. Go on a cycle tour of the Normandy countryside or trot along the sandy beaches of Ouistreham.
