Being the scene of vicious battles after the D-Day landings, Caen
was largely destroyed. However there are still old narrow streets
to wander down and the castle ramparts look impressive. The two
abbeys, Abbaye aux Hommes and Abbaye aux Dames were built by William
the Conqueror and his wife Matilda. The famous Caen Memorial for
Peace fascinatingly charts the events leading up to and after D-Day
– the ideal introduction before exploring the nearby landing
beaches of Omaha, Utah, Sword, Gold and Juno.
