Guided tour of Caen's historic centre
1,000 years of history… and 1? hours of adventure, as the town's historic centre is revealed on a guided tour leaving from the Tourist Office in Place Saint-Pierre. It's the perfect opportunity to answer a few questions.
How many bell towers are there in the “city of a hundred bell towers”? Is it better to build in stone or wood, or both? Is the Rue Froide as cold as Mathilde claimed, or is it subject to climate change? Is Louis XIV really schizophrenic? It’s also an opportunity to discover some of the heritage treasures hidden away in the heart of the city. This is the tour to follow if you want to get to grips with the city’s fundamentals. Regularly offered during school holidays.
