Didn’t plan to stop, but due to a lack of rental car services open on Sunday as advertised on the internet, decided to stop and see some sights. Saw the top 6 things to see, found it to be clean, educational, good food, friendly people

4/5 - Good

There are a few catholic churches. One of them is right in the center of Caen. You can go there by tram at the bus station. Others places need to have a car or to find bus routes and schedule. Information on transportation are poor.

2/5 - Disappointing

We only saw a small slice of Caen, but it didn’t make us want to see more. It felt like the Stockton of France. If we were to come this way again, we’d try staying in a different town.
