In the seat of the prince of Normans - Caen
Caen is the capital of the Basse-Normandie region in the northern part of France. It is situated on the English Channel, on the Orne River. In the past, William the Conqueror himself made it his seat. Caen was born on a limestone plateau, moreover, this limestone made the town famous due to its high quality. In the past, it was exported to work on the construction of the Tower and Westminster Abbey. The city also owes its development to the Norman prince, William the Conqueror, who built a castle here in the 11th century. Today, the building is a Caen landmark, distinguishing itself from numerous temples. It stands in the very center of the city.
