House in Caen, Normandy, France

We live in Caen city center, close to the station. We live in a 1910 house with a recent extension and a small garden.
From the house, the tour of the city is easily accessible on foot, by bicycle or by public transport (tram, bus).
Caen is a city of just over 100,000 inhabitants, steeped in history:
- The Allied landings. memorial museum dedicated to World War II and more generally to issues related to peace
- Caen is the city of William the Conqueror (Duke of Normandy forme 1035 to 1087 and King of England form 1066 to 1087)
- Abbey men
