Arts in the Garden

Studio apartment in the old heart of the beautiful city of Caen, capital of Calvados region of Lower Normandy.

While much of Caen was destroyed in WW2, a substantial part of the old city remains, including number of outstanding medieval churches (cathedrals in all but name) and of course the Chateau.

This five day break offers you accommodation in a charming though tiny studio apartment, with self-catering kitchen area, toilet and shower, on the second floor of a typical apartment block in the heart of the old city, occupied by young French people, many of them students. The building dates from the 18th century, as is most of the surrounding area, with imposing city squares from 17th and 18th centuries, and a wealth of cafes and brasseries and interesting little shops. It is just one minute's walk from the superb cathedral, the Abbey aux Hommes, which houses the tomb of William the Conqueror. The modern city centre with its department stores, cinema, theatre, etc. is ten minutes walk.

The accommodation sleeps two, and is suitable for those who want a more authentic experience of French city life than that offered by hotels.
