Caen is the capital of region Basse-Normandy, I spent a year in this small city and happened to to visit this museum twice. I would strongly recommend you to visit the museum BEFORE going to d-day beaches. For person who enjoys history and especially european history, this is the place for you.
This museum emphasizes on d-day history or second world war. It reflects the memorable events that took place in Caen and the region during the summer of 1944.

All that one could wish for or imagine - olives; tomatoes; cheeses; fish; meat; bread - everything for the table, in fact, including wine and cider. In addition to ...
Advantages: Near to UK, Peaceful, nice people, tasty gastronomy, a prefect reason to learn french Disadvantages: Small, not many people speak french
