Places to see in ( Caen - France )

Caen is a port city and capital of Calvados department in northern France's Normandy region. Its center features the Château de Caen, a circa-1060 castle built by William the Conqueror. It stands on a hill flanked by the Romanesque abbeys of Saint-Étienne and Sainte-Trinité, which both date from the same period. The multimedia Mémorial museum is devoted to World War II, the 1944 Battle of Normandy and the Cold War.

Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, Caen – capital of the Basse Normandie region – was 80% destroyed during the 1944 Battle of Normandy. Rebuilt in the 1950s and ’60s in the utilitarian style in vogue at the time, modern-day Caen nevertheless offers visitors a walled medieval château, two ancient abbeys and a clutch of excellent museums, including a groundbreaking museum of war and peace.

Caen is a college city and thus very active. In summer, tourists (mainly British and German) gather in Normandy for Second World War remains and the Memorial for Peace. Caen is a modern city, four-fifths of which was demolished in 1944 and rebuilt in the 1950s and 1960s. However, some old buildings remain, especially churches.

The bus verts will get you around Normandy easily. Within Caen and its close suburbs, use the bus and tramway network, called twisto. Alot to see in Caen such as :

Giant Huda started out as a spontaneous music project by singer-songwriter, composer, live musician and probably travel addict Josh Houseman (the guy in the video).

Places to see in ( Bayeux - France )

Places to see in ( Bayeux - France )

Bayeux is a town on the Aure river in the Normandy region of northwestern France, 10 kilometers from the Channel coast. Its medieval center contains cobbled streets, half-timbered houses and the towering, Norman-Gothic Cathédrale Notre-Dame. The famed 68-meter Tapisserie de Bayeux, an 11th-century tapestry depicting the 1066 Norman invasion of England, is on display in an 18th-century seminary.

Bayeux is located 7 kilometres (4 miles) from the coast of the English Channel and 30 km (19 mi) north-west of Caen. The city, with elevations varying from 32 to 67 metres (105 to 220 feet) above sea level – with an average of 46 metres (151 feet) – is bisected by the River Aure. Bayeux is located at the crossroads of RN 13 and the train route Paris-Caen-Cherbourg. The city is the capital of the Bessin, which extends north-west of Calvados.

The town of Bayeux is a popular destination in Normandy, near the coast and north-west of Caen and is also listed as one of less than 100 important protected Historic Towns in France. There are several reasons that people visit Bayeux including the famous tapestry; the town and cathedral; and the proximity of the Normandy Landing beaches.

France This Way comment: of course, Bayeux is best known for the tapestry, but even if you don't plan to see the tapestry the rest of the town, especially the old town around the cathedral and along the river is well worth exploring. The Bayeux tapestry is without doubt the most famous tapestry in the world, and an unmissable site when you are in this part of Normandy. The tapestry relates the story of the conquest of England and King Harold by the Norman, William the Conqueror, in the Battle of Hastings, including the preparations for the battle and the battle itself.

Although the origins of the tapestry are slightly unclear, it appears probable it was either commissioned by the half-brother of William the Conqueror or his wife. The tapestry was also probably completed around 1077, and it seems likely it was made in England, although even that is not certain. Despite its probable English origins the tapestry is, of course, a French National Treasure. An extraordinary feat, the tapestry is about 80 metres long and 50 centimetres high and is a fascinating document that provides a great deal of valuable information about life at that time. The tapestry can be seen, not surprisingly, in the town of Bayeux in the Centre Guillaume le Conquerant, itself a 17th century seminary building.

Bayeux itself is an attractive town with a reasonably well-preserved medieval centre, centred around a renowned cathedral. The Cathedrale Notre Dame dates in part from 1077, although most of what we see today is in gothic style and was built in the 13th to 15th centuries. The tapestry was originally displayed here in the cathedral before being moved to its current location in the Centre Guillaume le Conquerant. Note that the stained glass windows in the cathedral, like the tapestry, tell the story of William the Conqueror.

The medieval streets around the cathedral also have lots of medieval houses, some half-timbered, and many other historic houses of interest. These grand townhouses were built over a long period, from the 14th century to the 18th century, so include a wide range of different styles. The Grand hôtel d'Argouges at 4 Rue Saint-Malo is among the most interesting: built in the 15th century it incorporates numerous carved statues in the upper parts of the facade. The house on the corner of 1, rue des Cuisiniers, is another very impressive half-timbered medieval house.

Across the road from here is the Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy (Musée Mémorial de la Bataille de Normandie). This museum recounts the action seen in Normandy from the 7 June to the 29 August 1944. The Museum Baron Gérard in Bayeux is also interesting, with collections that tell the history of the town, including the important lace and porcelain industries, as well as exhibiting a good number of works of art. Nearby, Bayeux also houses the largest British war cemetery in Normandy.

Taking it easy in France

Took a trip from 7 sep - 13 sep to France. We landed in Paris, and took day trips out to Versailles, the Loire Valley and Mont Saint Michel in Normandy. Definitely used our feet, the taxis, TGV, the bus, and even rented a car to get around.

Places to see in ( Cabourg - France )

Places to see in ( Cabourg - France )

Cabourg is a seaside resort in Calvados on the Cote Fleurie near Deauville in Normandy. It is one of several resorts developed on this stretch of coast - known as the Cote Fleurie - between 1850 and 1880, and perhaps also the most family-friendly resort in the region. Cabourg owes its popularity to three things: the beaches, the interesting architecture and lively atmosphere in the town centre.

If you are looking for a good beach - indeed, a very good beach and certainly one of the best in this part of Normandy - Cabourg is perhaps the place you are looking for. As well as several kilometres of gentle sandy beaches you will find various activities available on the beach itself, such as wind-surfing, canoeing in the sea, volleyball, sunbathing, and other 'traditional' seaside activities such as golf, go-karts and swimming pools are close to hand, the promenade along the seafront is more than three kilometres long and pedestrianised (the longest in Europe) which makes it great for jogging enthusiasts.

Cabourg has a lively atmosphere as well as being very attractive which makes it a great holiday location. The main street has lots of bars and restaurants and interesting shops. It stretches between the imposing town hall and tourist office towards the Grand Hotel and Casino on the seafront.

In common with the other resorts along this stretch of coast Cabourg features a grand 'end of the 19th century' hotel (here the Grand Hotel) and a casino - the essential requirements of many a Normandy seaside resort, and key to providing the 'belle epoque' feel to the town, along with villas from the same period that you will see as you explore Cabourg. The Grand Hotel is on the edge of a large square surrounded by some really stupendous villas.

The styles vary but all are very ornate and decorated with balconies, brick patterns, elaborate roofs etc. Those built at the end of the 19th century tend to copy the half-timber style typical in the Pays d'Augue region of Normandy. To give extra authenticity to the 'belle epoque' aspect of the town, Marcel Proust stayed in the Grand Hotel each summer from 1907 to 1914 and used the town as a model for the town of Balbec in the novel 'In Search of Lost Time' (you could perhaps bring a copy to read on the beach). The long promenade on the edge of the beach is named after Marcel Proust. It was originally built to protect the sea-front villas but soon became popular for walks along the seafront.

Although Cabourg did not exist before the 19th century, the historic port area across the river from Cabourg at Dives-sur-Mer has a much longer history: it was from here that William the Conqueror set off to defeat England in 1066. The countryside around Cabourg is known as the Pays d'Auge, and is a lovely countryside of gentle hills, orchards and woodlands, containing numerous picturesque little villages.

The local Calvados tourist authorities propose various routes through the countryside to help you make the most of your visit, including the popular Normandy Cider route and others such as the Route des Moulins (traditional mills), the Route des Gorges de la Vire and the Route de la Suisse Normandie - ask for details in the Cabourg tourist office. If you only have time to visit one Normandy village near here we suggest Beuvron, one of our favourites. Back to the beach, don't forget to explore some of the other resorts along the Cote Fleurie - heading north-east from Cabourg these include Houlgate, Deauville, Trouville and Honfleur, among others.
