A superb abbey, one of the most important ducal buildings in Normandy, a masterpiece of medieval art.

A superb abbey, one of the most important buildings of the ducal era in Normandy, founded in 1063 by William the Conqueror, then Duke of Normandy. Comprising two parts (the conventual buildings and the church of Saint-Étienne), the Abbey aux Hommes is an architectural masterpiece of medieval art. The Hôtel de Ville de Caen now occupies the monastic complex, rebuilt in the 18th century around a Tuscan-style cloister. Consecrated in 1077, the Gothic-style abbey church houses the tomb of William the Conqueror.

Visite guidée conseillée, c'est vraiment enrichissant et une plus value indéniable si vous êtes de passage près de l'Abbaye aux Hommes.

Mooi stadje met middeleeuwse gebouwen

Très beau site , bien entretenu. Par contre, on en découvre peu sur la vie des bénédictins.

Achat de 5 billets pour visite libre. On ne nous a pas prévenu d un mariage et d une cérémonie dans une autre salle qui normalement faisait partie de la visite. Impossible de profiter du cloître qui était envahi par les invites et les mariés. Photos impossibles à faire . Nous avions vraiment l impression de gêner payer pour vivre cela pas très interessant. Ça serait plus honnête de prévenir de la situation avant de vendre les tickets.
