Abbaye aux Hommes

Abbaye aux Hommes: William the Conqueror's Massive Stone Tomb

5.0 (30)

Skip the crowded guided tours and wander the nave yourself. You get the best view of the soaring vaulted ceilings without the $44 price tag of a private session. The architecture feels heavy and imposing, exactly like a 900-year-old fortress should. Visit at 4pm when the shadows hit the limestone just right. It takes about an hour to fully explore the grounds. Leave the expensive scavenger hunts behind and just find the tomb alone.

Address: Esplanade Jean-Marie Louvel, Caen, Normandy, 14000
