Caen is a city located in the northwestern part of France. It is the capital of the Calvados department in the Normandy region. With a rich history dating back to Roman times, Caen has played a significant role in various historical events and has been a center of culture, education, and administration.
Caen has a long and storied history, dating back to its establishment by the Romans. It was an important medieval city and the seat of the Duchy of Normandy, which was ruled by William the Conqueror. The city was heavily impacted by World War II, as it was a target during the D-Day landings in 1944.
The most famous historical figure associated with Caen is William the Conqueror, who built the Château de Caen, a massive castle that still stands today. He used the castle as a base for his campaigns in England and as a symbol of his power and authority.
Caen is also known for the Abbaye aux Hommes (Abbey of Saint-Étienne) and the Abbaye aux Dames (Abbey of Sainte-Trinité), which were founded by William the Conqueror and his wife Matilda. These abbeys are important examples of Norman Romanesque architecture and are considered significant historical and cultural landmarks.
Caen is home to the University of Caen Normandy, which is one of the oldest universities in France. The city has a vibrant cultural scene, including museums, theaters, and music venues. It also hosts various festivals and events throughout the year.
Caen suffered extensive damage during World War II, particularly during the Battle of Normandy. The city was a target for Allied forces due to its strategic location, and much of its historical architecture was damaged or destroyed. The Caen Memorial Museum, dedicated to the history of World War II and the D-Day landings, is a notable attraction.
Today, Caen is a modern city with a mix of historical and contemporary architecture. It serves as an important administrative and economic center for the region. The city has undergone significant reconstruction and development since the war, and efforts have been made to preserve its historical heritage while fostering urban growth.

Le débarquement de Normandie s'est fait à quelques kilomètres seulement du centre ville, la plupart de Caen à été détruite par les bombardements. Néanmoins, les deux joyaux architecturaux de Caen, l'Abbaye aux Hommes (l'église Saint-Étienne) et l'Abbaye aux Dames (l'église de la Trinité) restent intactes. Une ville charmante et sérénité 😊 💕

Edward님 영상들 덕분에.. 제가 안가본 도시들을 많이 알게 되어서.. 너무 재밌어요 😃 👍 ❤ 캉이 다른 프랑스 도시들과는 다르게 굉장히 소박해 보였던 이유가.. 2차 대전때 도시가 거의 파괴되었었기 때문이었군요. 하지만 캉은 공부가 굉장히 잘될것 같은 분위기가 도시 전체에 흐르고 있어서.. 🙂 ✍ 대학으로도 유명해진거 같아요 😄
