In partnership with Caen Tourism Board, discover the charming sights in the lush countryside and by the sea, and don’t forget to explore and enjoy the local cuisine!

Uncover the rich history of Caen and discover William the Conqueror, the Battle of Hastings and the significant role played by French and Australian soldiers in partnership during the Second World War.
