Amateurs of religious architecture will be surprised by the many abbeys which are dotted around this area of Normandy: the Mont Saint Michel of course on its imposing site, but also less known Abbeys, but no less remarkable: Hambye, La Lucerne, Saint Martin de Mondaye (very close by), l’Abbaye aux Hommes et l’Abbaye aux Femmes at Caen.
Closer by, relive the D-day Landings and the Operation Overlord with the Caen Memorial or while walking on one of the beaches which made history: Omaha Beach, Utah Beach…
