I come from a tiny city in the southeast of France, but I did my Bachelor's degree in Caen and I immediately fell in love with the place. My work has led me to live in Norway, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and I am now back to France, in Brittany, but I still feel like I have never felt more "at home" than I did when living in Caen. Can't explain it. It's really nothing special. But it's probably this "lack of extreme" that made life there so comfortable and enjoyable. I hope my career brings me back to Caen someday. In the meantime I still go back every year for a long weekend down the memory lane.
I've been there for the first time this year. I can't believe it is not a better known place to visit. Another outstanding feature are the many small bookstores you find around town.
Me: "I studied there 20 years ago as well! Oh hang on ... no, it was 40 years ago." I did a Stage de Francais at the University. Good to see the place again (I've never been back since). This is a nicely done and informative video.
Excellent video! Bonjour! I love the comments framed by college degrees, but I'm biased (GED2EdD). Is Caen considered a college town? We are retired educators looking for the next chapter after we sell our Portland condo- maybe Long Stay Visa in France. Last year we helped a new school open in Lviv, then explored Krakow, Gdansk, and Tallinn. It was the best 6 months! Thank you. Merci! Dean & Cindy
Hello Dean and Cindy! It's not necessarily knows as a college town. Thanks for watching and I am wishing you the best on your next adventure in France.
