Best Caen Tours & Trips
This Northern French commune is just a few miles away from the World War II D-Day Normandy landing beaches and was the site of the war's Battle of Caen from June-August 1944. Caen was originally inhabited by Celtic and Belgae tribes and was invaded by the Romans in 98 AD, as was the rest of the Normandy region. Most of the city had to be rebuilt after the Battle of Caen and the Memorial for Peace, or Memorial de Caen, was opened in 1988 to commemorate those World War II tragedies. Other Caen points of interest are Caen Botanical Garden, Museum of Fine Arts of Caen, Museum of Normandy and Church of Saint-Pierre.

The balance of sightseeing and free time was perfect.
Our 8-day journey through France with the 'Mon Amour Tour' from Paris was an absolute delight, starting with the grandeur of the Arc de Triomphe and the vibrant energy of Champs-Élysées.

A good value
This tour was a long but interesting trip. Our guide was very informative. The worst part was having to be at the meeting place at 6:30 a.m. The bus was comfortable. I would have liked to have stopped in Bayeux to see the famous tapestry.
