The Alliance Française de Caen - Normandie

The historic capital of Lower Normandy, located in the heart of a region between land and sea, close to the D-Day landing beaches and less than two hours from Paris, the city of Caen is renowned for its balance of heritage, academic vitality and quality of life.

The city of William the Conqueror, Caen preserves an exceptional medieval legacy. Its impressive Château de Caen, one of the largest fortified complexes in Europe, dominates the city. The majestic 11th-century abbeys — Abbaye aux Hommes and Abbaye aux Dames — bear witness to Normandy’s power and influence through the centuries.

Largely rebuilt after the Second World War, Caen has successfully combined modernity with respect for its architectural identity, characterised by the luminous elegance of Caen stone. A major university city, it welcomes tens of thousands of students each year, particularly at the Université de Caen Normandie, one of the oldest universities in France.

The Alliance Française de Caen - Normandie welcomes you in the heart of the city, close to university campuses and major cultural venues. Its classrooms, French as a Foreign Language programmes and international certifications reflect the spirit of Caen: rigorous, welcoming and resolutely open to the world!
