Situated on the banks of the river Orne, Caen is the capital and largest city of Basse Normandie. The Chateau de Caen, built by William the Conqueror, with its rings of ramparts, is built on the highest point and commands great views. It's now becoming a very modern city, with broad avenues and new apartment buildings taking over the original 16th century architecture.
