Activity itinerary

Hôtel de Than (Pass by)
The Mansion Inn you see on your right is the Than Inn. It was built around 1527 for Thomas Morel, who was the lord of two municipalities of Calvados.
Hotel D'Escoville (Pass by)
Here, in the courtyard of the tourist office, you find the finest example of a Renaissance Inn in Caen.
King William Tower (Pass by)
Caen’s medieval heritage is such that it’s perfectly normal to come face to face with a 14th century fortified tower, right in the city centre, between bus stops and car queues.
Port de Plaisance (Pass by)
You arrive here at the Saint-Pierre basin, which today forms the small marina of Caen.
Abbaye aux Dames (Pass by)
You finally arrived in front of the Abbaye aux Dames. Founded by Duchess Mathilde in the 11th century while her husband founded the monastery for men, the abbey served until the French Revolution as a convent for the Benedictine sisters.
41 Rue des Chanoines (Pass by)
You pass the remains of the old church of Saint-Gilles which was completely destroyed by the bombings of 1944.
Ancienne Chapelle du Saint-Sépulcre (Pass by)
You are now passing a new abandoned religious building in Caen. It is a former collegiate church founded in the 13th century by the priest Guillaume Acarin, who was the advisor to King Philip Augustus.
Vaugueux (Pass by)
One glance around you is enough to realise that you have arrived in the heart of medieval Caen.
Chateau de Caen (Pass by)
We arrive at the famous castle of Caen! It was built around 1060 by William the Conqueror, shortly before he became King of England!
Remparts (Pass by)
Do not hesitate to climb on all the ramparts where you will find access, it is the best way to enjoy the views of the city.
Eglise Saint-Pierre (Pass by)
So yes, I grant you, there are a lot of churches in Caen. The church of Saint Peter, which stands before you, was the main building of Bourg du Roi.
Maisons a Pans de Bois (Pass by)
You are lucky, the two wood-framed houses you have there, have recently been renovated! So you can admire all the finesse of the work of the 16th century!
Église du Vieux Saint Sauveur (Pass by)
To your right, you have the enigmatic Church of Saint-Saviour, formerly called Our Lady of Cold Street.
Rue Froide (Pass by)
You are now entering one of the most interesting streets in Caen.
Eglise du Vieux Saint Sauveur (Pass by)
Arriving at Saint-Saviour Square, you have the Church of the Old Saint-Saviour.
Place Saint-Sauveur (Pass by)
Here you are now in Place Saint-Sauveur, one of the oldest public squares in the city!
Rue Écuyère (Pass by)
Many cities in France, and even more in the North, have their streets full of thirst.
Caen (Pass by)
I propose you to stop for a moment, to find a place on a bench of the beautiful esplanade Jean Louvel to talk a little about the fascinating history of Normandy.
Abbaye aux Hommes (Pass by)
Here you are on the esplanade Jean Marie Louvel facing the impressive abbey of men.
Old St. Stephen's Church (Pass by)
The ruined church that you see there bears the same name as the abbey church, with one difference, this time it is Saint-Etienne-le-Vieux.
Librairie générale du Calvados (Pass by)
Caen is a city rich in history and culture, full of beautiful independent bookshops! If there’s one that you can’t help but see, it’s the one you’re looking at: Guillaume Bookshop.
71 Rue Joseph Philippon (Pass by)
I take advantage of the fact that we arrive rue du moulin to make a short apartement on the water square in Caen over time.
