Top 5 photo spots in and around Caen
Five photo spots to discover in Caen
Whether it's for a photo album or to post on social networks, here are our top 5 photo spots in Caen!
1. Historic atmosphere: the Vaugueux district
The oldest district in Caen, the Vaugueux district is packed with timber-framed houses and other period facades that have survived the bombardments. Strike a pose on the old cobblestones for a truly authentic shot!
2. An arty atmosphere: street art
Caen and the surrounding area offers a wealth of frescoes and murals by contemporary artists. Here's where to find some of the most famous:
- Work by 2shy on the Chaussée d'Alger in Caen
- Piotre at 60 avenue Pierre Berthelot, Caen
- Work by Mookimax at 11 avenue de la Falaise, Colombelles
3. Seaside atmosphere: the pier at Luc-sur-Mer
This pontoon jutting out into the sea on the beach at Luc-sur-Mer will add a romantic and mysterious touch to any shot.
We particularly recommend going there at sunset to see the water and sky turn pink.
4. Medieval atmosphere: Caen Castle
Built around 1060 by William the Conqueror, Caen Castle is one of the largest fortified enclosures in Europe.
There is no shortage of viewpoints from which to focus your lens, whether in front of the imposing towers or from the top of the restored ramparts.
5. Nature: the Ifs forest
A change of scenery just 10 minutes' drive from Caen in the Ifs forest! You'll love strolling through these 32 hectares of greenery dotted with 40,000 trees.
The wide paths are particularly photogenic.
