Discover Caen and its region
Memorial & Museum
Located only 800m from the Mémorial de Caen, we cannot mention tourism without encouraging you to visit this museum for peace. However, we invite our guests to pass through the doors of the city's two other museums the Musée de Normandie, as well as the Musée des beaux-arts.
Caen Memorial
At 400 metres from our establishment stands a place of remembrance to the Second World War : the museum for peace, commonly called the Caen Memorial. Opened in 1986, it now welcomes around 600 000 visitors per year, making it the 2ndrst national museum (outside the Île de France), in terms of attendance*.
More than a place of remembrance, the Memorial goes back to the origins of the conflict and continues until the end of the Cold War. The Peace Museum imposes a real reflection on the history of the 20th century. During your visit, you will discover various exhibitions, films as well as the imposing American cemetery.
