05/05/18 – Caen, Normandy
Arriving in Caen, we parked for free using one of the Moho carparks approx 2 KM outside of the town centre at the Memorial de Caen. We did try and take a look around the park Colline aux Oiseaux, however, they didn’t let dogs in, so we and made our way into town in the sunshine.
Caen reminded me of Paris in certain parts with the wide tree-lined boulevards and grand state buildings, but also the narrow cobbled street lined with bars and cafes with everyone squeezing into the sunshine not in the shadow of the adjacent buildings. I’m sure one could spend a long time exploring the many boutiques and independent shops, but as shopping isn’t really our thing, we opted to sit outside the Hotel de Ville and watch people arriving for what look like a very grand wedding.
