Why visit Caen in spring?

Located in the heart of Normandy, the capital of Calvados becomes an ideal destination for a cultural and gourmet getaway.
In short, a city to (re)discover as soon as the sun's first rays appear, just a 2-hour train ride from Paris.
In spring, the temperatures and light are milder, providing ideal conditions for exploring the city.
You'll be delighted to stroll through the alleys of William the Conqueror's Castle, visit the Abbaye aux Hommes (Men's Abbey), or discover the Abbaye aux Dames (Women's Abbey) to immerse yourself in the city's medieval history.
