What to do in Caen when it rains?
While Normandy's weather can sometimes be a bit of a downer, don't worry, Caen is brimming with indoor activities for rainy days.
Whether you're with family, as a couple, or with friends, step inside the museums and monuments, and take part in fun activities to enjoy the city sheltered from the showers ☂️.
15 minutes from the hotel
Housed within a vast museum space, the Caen Memorial is a key stop for understanding 20th-century history.
From the Second World War to the Cold War, this iconic museum offers an immersive, educational, and moving experience.
It's the perfect place to start your stay, out of the rain.
5 minutes from the hotel
Even in the rain, Caen Castle is worth a visit. The interiors of the Museum of Fine Arts or the Normandy Museum, both located within the castle grounds, offer a chance to immerse yourself in local art and history within buildings steeped in heritage.
Less than 10 minutes from the hotel
There's nothing like a show at the Caen Theater to clear your head.
Renowned for its diverse program, you can see operas, dance performances, and contemporary theater.
Film buffs can also take refuge at the Lux cinema, an art house cinema, or in the more modern theaters of the Pathé Rives de l'Orne.
A rainy day can also mean indulging in delicious treats. To do this, step into one of the many cozy tea rooms in the city center to enjoy a delicious hot chocolate or a pastry.
Rain is also a good excuse to try new and fun activities.
Between escape games (Get Out), virtual reality rooms (Ymagine), bowling, and indoor climbing (Clim Up), you'll be spoiled for choice.
Plenty to keep the whole family entertained or to share a fun afternoon with friends.
