|  | Showcase of Norman talents
The half-timbered buildings and townhouses take you back in time, but Old Caen's appeal factor peaks when you walk into a restaurant. Livarot, Camembert or Pont l?Evêque cheeses fill the air with their incomparable earthy odors, and the talented chefs in Caen excel at using them to advantage.
Picturesque charm
Shop every day in Caen at an open-air market. Convivial and picturesque, they are where you'll find the best dairy products from the region: farmhouse cheeses, of course, but also butter, cream and even confiture de lait (milk jam). |

| | Say cheese
At the Maître Corbeau restaurant on rue Buquet, the tasty menu features only dishes made with cheese.
A spot of green
You'll be tempted to lunch on the grass at La Colline aux Oiseaux, a 17-hectare park with themed gardens.
Local specialty
A must if you love tripe à la mode de Caen: the excellent pork butcher's, Poupinet.
A taste of apple
Sample the region's apple-based drinks. Between "calva" (short for Calvados), cider and pommeau, your head might start spinning! Cheers ! |
