The city of Caen has been totally rebuilt and is now one of the most modern cities in Normandy, at the heart of the city is, "Le Memorial de Caen" a fabulous tribute to everyone involved in the Battle of Normandy and the final liberation of Europe.
The memorial building is dedicated to peace and on the initiative of the City of Caen, a park dedicated to freedom and co-operation among nations has been created around it.

Le Memorial de Caen, is not a museum, but a centre of living history, the history of mankind's stupidity during the 20th Century.
Telling the story from World War One to the present time.
The focal point is the massive twin screened cinema, here shown simultaneously is, "D-Day" On the right hand screen German soldiers in their blockhouses along the Atlantic wall. On the left hand screen the allies get ready to come ashore, the whole event opens up showing what it was like for both sides, literally hundreds of hours of work have been put into this production and in my opinion it is the ultimate historical film to be seen about D-Day.

The International park of remembrance is dedicated to peace and hope, after visiting the inside of  Le    Memorial it is a lovely place to relax and perhaps reflect what you have just seen.

The Caen Memorial has to be visited, it is a fabulous tribute to everyone involved in the Battle for Normandy and the Liberation of Europe. It is dedicated to peace and the quest for peace throughout the world.
