Serviced Apartments in Caen

Caen is officially a commune rather than a city or town and has a population of over 100,000 people. It is found in the lower Normandy region of northern France, about 10 miles away from the coast of the English Channel. Serviced apartments in Caen are becoming more popular as an accommodation choice, as well as hotels.

Caen has a rich historical past evident from its array of historical buildings, many of which date back to the era of William the Conqueror (who is actually buried in the town). Due to also having a prominent role in the Second World War, there are plenty of war memorials and reminders of these events in Caen. A Caen holiday apartment is a great choice for history buffs in particular.

Transport to your Caen apartment rental may come in the form of a ferry from Portsmouth or a train ride from Paris, just two hours away. When you reach the city itself you will find a modern guided bus system called Twisto. Despite not being hugely popular with the locals at the time of construction, this transport system nevertheless provides an easy and efficient way to get around the city. There are many stops to get on and off the bus, and any Caen holiday letting will be near at least one of these.

The climate of Caen is much like that of the rest of northern Europe including Britain with summer temperatures generally in the low 20s Celsius, and winter temperatures reaching zero. This is still good enough weather to leave your Caen serviced apartment for a trip around the city's castles and abbeys. The main city castle was built in 1060 by the aforementioned William the Conqueror, and now houses a museum of fine arts.

There are also a couple of fantastic abbeys in the city which were built during the same period. The Eglise St. Etienne and Eglise de la St. Trinité, were both built by William as way of apology to the Pope for marrying his own cousin. Despite this dubious past, the abbeys are well worth a visit and are a great day out from your Caen serviced flat.

Other things to see and do include the city’s botanical garden, the Memorial for Peace and an amusement park called Parc Festyland just to the west of Caen. A Caen short-term apartment gives you plenty of scope for venturing near or far for your entertainment.
