Caen 🇫🇷 France Walking Tour

Historically, it was largely due to William the Conqueror that Caen grew into a great city beside the River Orne. William’s wife, Matilda of Flanders, was also involved. Each commissioned a grand abbey, the Men’s Abbey for William and the Women’s Abbey for Matilda, both of which remain hugely impressive places to this day. Between them, the many-turreted Caen Castle was one of the most important in the duchy of Normandy; it now houses two museums.
Famously, the first crucial, successful action of the D-Day operations on 6 June 1944 was when the British 6th Airborne Division secured the bridges downstream of Caen, between the towns of Bénouville and Ranville. Bénouville Bridge over the Caen Canal was renamed Pegasus Bridge after the emblem of the mythological flying horse used by the British airborne forces.

J etais la. bas 2017 comme un harag la ville est vraiment belle mais les gens sont des racistes

[@lacrimachristi1313]

J'y vis depuis 50 ans, c'est la 1ère fois que j'entends parler de racisme. Il y a un racisme anti blanc, certes, c'est tout.
