Travel from Paris by train to Normandy, stay at Caen and rent a car to other destinations. Caen is not big city, we planned the most basic route, visit a landmark + shopping. 📝 Landmarks of Caen: The Monastery of the Men's Abbey Caen is the capital of Lower Normandy and the city of the Duke of Normandy. Despite the June 1944 bombings, the City of Arts and History retains a beautiful architectural heritage, the Men's Abbey (Abbey-aux-Hommes), founded by William the Conqueror (William the Conqueror), whose church Saint Etienne (Saint-Etienne) is a wonderful witness to Romanesque art, by Queen Mathilde (Queen Mathilde), The women's monastery (Abbey-aux-Dames), founded by St. Peter's Church (Church of St. Peter). I arrived at the monastery to catch the end of Mass. It was the hottest day in France after summer, and the monastery was mostly women! They wore thin down jackets, chanting together, and their hearts were as calm as water. Looking at the arched promenade and dome, the sun shines on the exterior wall, and the moment you enter the abbey through the semi-covered door, you will be deeply impressed by the charm of the abbey architecture. The back garden of the abbey has a wide view and is indeed luxurious! #abbey #check in historical city #travel in France
The Abbey Church in Caen, Normandy, France, is now decommissioned. Built to give to St. Stephen's, the men's monastery and the adjacent women's monastery are considered the most iconic Romanesque architecture in Normandy.
This is the monastery of men, far from the women's monastery, in the previous calendar, the monastery was very strict.
