Activity itinerary

Abbaye aux Hommes
  • 1h
Once the group is complete, we will take a time to take stock in 1025. This year, Caen celebrates its millennium.. But what does 1025 mean? What did Caen look like in 1025? During the 11th century, an essential figure in the history of France and England chose Caen as its capital. He is the founder of the abbey we are going to visit. We will also take a time to mention the "sister" building, the Abbey of the Ladies.
Église Saint-Jean
  • 1h
After discovering the old town and its timber-framed buildings, we will head to a church whose non-verticality may surprise a little... We will talk about the very special history that the city has with water, and this to this day.
Hotel D'Escoville

Returning to the old town centre, we will make a stop in front of the Hotel d'Escoville, emblematic monument of the Renaissance, and which adjoins the current Tourist Office (possible stop for souvenir purchases)
St Peter's Catholic Church

Opposite the Hotel d'Escoville is one of the most beautiful churches in the city, whose rich history can be read in stone, with different phases of construction and reconstruction.
