## Emplacement Préfecture du Calvados et capitale de l'ancienne Basse-Normandie, la ville de Caen a payé un lourd tribut, en 1944, à la bataille de Normandie. Le passé fastueux de cette cité labellisée Ville d'Art et d'Histoire a néanmoins laissé des témoignages architecturaux de premier ordre.
Le château de Caen, résidence des ducs de Normandie, est un autre haut lieu de la ville. Construit au XIe siècle, toujours par l'illustre personnage qu'était Guillaume le Conquérant, il constituait une véritable forteresse pendant la guerre de Cent Ans. Il a été restauré après la Seconde Guerre après avoir subi d'importants dégâts, et abrite aujourd'hui le musée des Beaux-Arts, le musée de Normandie, la grande salle d'apparat de l'Échiquier, l'église Saint-Georges, ainsi qu'un jardin des simples. Son chemin de ronde offre quant à lui un beau panorama sur la ville et les remparts.
Le Mémorial de Caen, Cité de l'histoire pour la paix inaugurée en 1988 par le Président François Mitterrand, est un centre pédagogique et culturel international édifié pour commémorer la Bataille de Normandie. Sur 5 600 m² d'expositions permanentes, ses salles dotées de toute la technologie moderne évoquent la période de 1918 à nos jours, en mettant l'accent sur la Seconde Guerre mondiale et l'après-guerre. Dans ce musée incontournable de la ville, on peut suivre notamment le jour J sur écran géant, vécu par les deux camps, et admirer la galerie des célèbres lauréats du Prix Nobel de la Paix.
Au cœur du château et du parc de sculptures, un bâtiment contemporain abrite le musée des Beaux-Arts qui abrite l'une des plus importantes collections françaises de peintures européennes des XVIe et XVIIe siècles. On peut y admirer des œuvres de France, d'Italie, de Hollande ou des Frandres.
Caen offre de nombreuses autres pépites, telles que l'hôtel particulier d'Escoville, superbe demeure Renaissance construite au XVIe siècle par un riche seigneur, et qui abrite maintenant l'Office de Tourisme. On peut également admirer l'église Saint-Pierre et ses nombreuses sculptures, le Jardin des plantes qui accueille nombre de spécimens rares au cœur de la ville, ou le quartier du "Vaugueux" où a vécu la famille d'Edith Piaf. Il faut aussi prendre le temps de flâner dans les rues médiévales ou sur le joli port de plaisance qui agrémente le centre-ville.
In the heart of the castle and sculpture park, a contemporary building houses the Museum of Fine Arts, which houses one of the most important collections of French European paintings from the 16th and 17th centuries. You can admire works from France, Italy, Holland or Frandres.
Caen offers many other gems, such as the mansion of Escoville, superb Renaissance house built in the 16th century by a wealthy lord, and which now houses the Tourist Office. You can also admire the church of Saint-Pierre and its many sculptures, the Jardin des plantes which hosts a number of rare specimens in the heart of the city, or the "Vaugueux" district where Edith Piaf’s family lived. You should also take the time to stroll through the medieval streets or on the pretty marina that embellishes the city center.
