Major museum on the Second World War, D-Day and peace, using immersive exhibits to explain conflict and reconciliation.
Fine arts museum inside Caen Castle, with European paintings, prints and sculpture from the Renaissance onwards.

Lively pedestrian square at the heart of Caen, framed by historic buildings, shops and terraces, ideal for people-watching.
Pleasant marina district with waterside walks, modern quays and easy links between the centre and the canal.
Green park laid out on old fortifications, offering lawns, mature trees and a relaxed stroll beside the castle.
Normandy tripe slowly simmered with cider, Calvados and vegetables. A long-standing regional speciality linked with nearby Caen and traditional Sunday cooking.
Soft-ripened Normandy cheese with a washed rind and rich, earthy flavour. It is one of the area’s classic farmhouse cheeses and a staple on local cheese boards.
Creamy cow’s milk cheese from Normandy, milder than many washed-rind cheeses. It is deeply tied to regional dairying and often served after the main course.
Refined dining focused on seasonal French cooking with a polished but approachable atmosphere, suitable for a higher-end meal in Caen.
Traditional Norman brasserie known for seafood, regional dishes and a lively central setting near the marina and historic centre.
Well-known crêperie in the Vaugueux area serving savoury galettes, sweet crêpes and cider in a relaxed, old-town atmosphere.
Moderate for France: hotels and dining are generally a little cheaper than Paris, while local buses and everyday cafés remain fairly reasonable for visitors.
Service is usually included. Round up or leave 5-10% for very good restaurant service; round up taxi fares and leave small change in cafés.
