Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, the Norman King’s castle that still stands to this day. However, Caen is perhaps best known for the bombing that destroyed 80% of the city during World War II. While it doesn’t have the same historic charm as other Norman towns, Caen does offer visitors some fascinating landmarks. The curtain wall and dried moat of William the Conqueror’s castle, one of the largest medieval fortresses in Europe, now houses the Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Normandy. During his reign, William ordered two abbeys to be built -the ‘Men's Abbey’ is now the final resting place of his thigh bone - all that remains of the legendary king. Visitors can also head to the Memorial of Caen, built in an old bunker, which is widely considered to be the best World War II museum in France.
