Caen is a Norman city known for William the Conqueror, the Château de Caen and its wartime history. A rebuilt centre, busy student life and relaxed streets give it an approachable, lived-in character.
Paris is known for elegant streets, major museums and a cultural identity shaped by art, fashion and café life. Along the Seine, grand landmarks sit beside neighbourhoods that still feel local and lived in.
Alençon is best known for Point d'Alençon lace, a fine craft recognised by UNESCO. Its compact centre, churches and riverside setting give this Norman town a quiet, practical character.
Flers is a Norman market town best known for its château, park and local museum. Rebuilt after wartime damage, it has a straightforward character and easy access to the bocage landscapes of the Orne.
Le Mans is best known for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but its character is shaped just as much by the old Cité Plantagenêt. Roman walls and timbered streets give this western French city a distinctly historic feel.
