A stone walled castle

The Caen castle is one of the historic sights you'll visit during the Caen trip. When I visited there was quite a lot of renovation going on. We were told it's over a thousand years old. So, the preservation efforts are important and bound to be helpful for those who visit the site in the future. Besides the massive surroundings of this stone walled castle. You get to see the Caen art museum and the History museum. While some of the signs and inscriptions were in English, it still allows for appreciation of heritage artefacts. You get great views of the city from the ramparts. Perhaps, more information along the way and descriptions would help elevate the experience. Bring some water or something to snack on. The cafe inside stayed shut during our visit. #myhiddengems #caencastle #france #summerdestinations #normandy #100waysoftravel #europe
