Luggage Storage Caen

Caen is one of the most exciting and intriguing cities to visit in the Normandy region of northern France. It's a city with history dating back to the days of William the Conqueror and before. The part it played in WW2 is something remembered by its people and in its museums.

Caen is today a more peaceful place with pedestrianized shopping zones where boutiques stand next to boulangeries with shelves stacked with freshly baked bread and colorful macarons. Caen is a city to investigate at leisure. Rush and you'll miss capturing its amazing atmosphere or accidentally skip seeing a fascinating art collection, a shop selling French designer wear with that unique ooh la la factor or worse, missing out on dinner in some of the best restaurants in France.

The cobbled streets of Caen are not very suitcase friendly and it's certainly not in line with French chic to be dragging one around with you. Leave your bags at a Bounce luggage storage service in Caen and you'll keep your street cred intact.

Caen City Guide

Top Things To Do

The moment you arrive in Caen you'll want to stop to breathe in the atmosphere or sit down on the terrace of a sidewalk cafe to watch the world go by while drinking a cup of cafe au lait. There's nothing wrong with that and it is, in part at least, how this city should be enjoyed. But, if you want to fit in all of the top things there are to do in Caen during your visit, you're going to have to get a move on. Caen has interesting museums galore, more shops than a city should have, and enough excellent restaurants to make you consider never doing home cooking again.

Museums

If you just wanted to visit all of the museums in Caen during your stay there, you'd need to be there for a month. There are museums in castles, museums dedicated to nature, science, the arts and history that occupy both indoor and outdoor space. Browse them at your leisure and you could easily find you've overstayed your welcome in the country and need to apply for a visa.

• Musee de Normandie: In the Musee de Normandie you can take a stroll through time from prehistory to the modern day. The museum houses vast collections related to the region's history, the people who lived there, and the effects of the industrial revolution as well as the two world wars on the area.
• Caen Castle: Caen Castle is a fortress built in the 11th century on a hill overlooking the city. The magnificent, and slightly foreboding structure, although badly damaged by bombing in WW2 is still pretty much intact. Walk the battlements, peep through the arrow slits and you'll get a good idea of what it was like to be a Norman soldier.
• Caen Museum of Fine Arts: The Caen Museum of Fine Arts, or the Musee des Beaux Arts de Caen to give it its proper French title, houses extensive collections of both historic and modern art as well as textiles.

Shopping

Shopping in Caen is more about wandering up and down the rues and boulevards in search of small shops with unique items on sale, and scouring the markets for gifts or fresh produce than it is malls. It may be an old-fashioned way of shopping, but it is very French and great fun.

• La Boite a Calva: If you've been searching for a special souvenir that will remind you of your stay in Caen, but haven't found what you're looking for, go to La Boite a Calva. This gift shop is a grotto-like store crammed with unusual, but high-quality items that make the perfect gift for anyone.
• Chocolaterie Charlotte Corday: Indulge your sweet tooth with handmade chocolates from the Chocolaterie Charlotte Corday. Walking into this store is like walking into Willy Wonka's, though on a slightly smaller scale, where you can find just about every chocolate treat you've ever dreamed of.
• Centre Commercial Herouville: If you can't live without going shopping in a mall then pass by the Centre Commercial Herouville. It's an indoor mall containing big name department stores, smaller boutiques, and a supermarket. It doesn't have the same atmosphere as street shopping in Caen, but it's not a bad alternative when it's raining.

Dining

French cuisine is world-renowned for its superior quality. In Caen you'll find some of the best food in the country being served in friendly, family-owned and run restaurants that can rival any Michelin starred eatery.

• Indigene: Indigene is a contemporary restaurant and wine bar that displays all of the style the French are known to have an overload of. Simplistically classy without being flash, this eatery serves small, but exceptionally beautiful plates paired with amazing wines.
• A Contre Sens: If you have trouble deciding what to eat when a menu has so many good choices on it, then try A Contre Sens when you're in Caen. They offer a variety of tasting menus with superb dishes on them. All you have to do is pick one.
• Beef and Cow: The Beef and Cow restaurant in Caen is a no-frills, no vegetarian, meat restaurant which specializes in beef, burgers made with beef, stews, and casseroles made with beef, steaks and beef ribs and just about anything else made with beef, as well as great red wine to go with it.
