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.

Dommage !!! Sûrement intéressant
Nous avons acheté 2 billets pour visite libre. Malheureusement , il y avait 3 mariages à la suite donc n'avons pas visité les salles principales et même pas profiter des jardins car photos des mariés ,nous avons fait le tour du cloître en se cachant pour ne pas être sur les photos. Alors payer pour rien!!Les visites ne devraient pas être autorisées pendant les cérémonies. Il serait souhaitable de prévenir avant d'acheter les billets. Nous ne l'aurions pas fait. Pas très honnête!!!

Superbe édifice de la ville de Caen. L''abbaye aux hommes ainsi que le cloître sont magnifique. Un petit retour dans l'histoire de Guillaume le Conquérant.

A voir pour ceux qui aime l'histoire et notamment connaitre les aventures de Guillaume le conquerant ;-)
2 euros pour visiter le cloitre qui est très joli et ensuite visiter l'abbaye (gratuite)
