    What To Expect

    Abbaye aux Hommes

    Once the group is complete, we will take a time to take stock in 1025. This year, Caen celebrates its millennium.. But what does 1025 mean? What did Caen look like in 1025?

We will also take a time to mention the "sister" building, the Abbey of the Ladies.
