Our review<\/h3>\n\n<p>A memorial site of international importance, the Memorial was inaugurated in 1988. This tourist and cultural site is emblematic of the region, welcoming an average of 400,000 visitors a year. We were not disappointed by this must-see museum, which traces the history of 20th-century conflicts from 1914 to the fall of the Berlin Wall. In addition to interactive visitor facilities, it features memorial gardens to pay tribute to the victims of the Second World War and promote a message of peace.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 3 things to see during your visit<\/h3>\n\n<p>We learned a lot and were moved by our visit to the Memorial. Here&#8217;s what struck us most during our visit:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>visit to the bunker<\/strong>: we explored the former underground command post of German General Wilhelm Richter. This historic site played a crucial role in the first decisive weeks of the Battle of Normandy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>authentic aircraft<\/strong>: as soon as we entered the museum, we were greeted by a Howker Typhoon. Later, we gazed at a Soviet MIG 21 fighter plane. Impressive!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>historical newspapers<\/strong>: we loved discovering the front pages of period newspapers during our visit. They bear witness to the climate of terror during this period, but also to the explosion of joy at the moment of liberation!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img

Our review<\/h3>\n\n<p>Our visit to the Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-Arts was a real highlight. While it is considered a benchmark museum for 17th- and 18th-century European painting, contemporary art also has its place here, with rooms devoted to the avant-garde and a sculpture park! With a wealth of great names in painting (Rembrandt, D\u00fcrer, Perugino, Monet&#8230;), you can admire masterpieces of all kinds (landscapes, portraits&#8230;).

As its name suggests, the museum presents the evolution of the Norman way of life, from prehistory to the beginnings of industrial society.

Our review<\/h3>\n\n<p>Vieux-la-Romaine is Normandy&#8217;s only Roman archaeological site. It includes a museum and garden, as well as a collection of Gallo-Roman remains dating from the 3rd century. Whether it&#8217;s the house with the U-shaped courtyard and its neighbourhood, the forum and thermal baths, or the house with the large peristyle, they&#8217;ve really made an impression on us! The life of an entire ancient capital of Normandy, Aregenua, was taking shape before our very eyes, thanks to the work of archaeologists.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 3 things to see during your visit<\/h3>\n\n<p>The museum preserves numerous artefacts testifying to daily life in Aregenua during Antiquity. But the elements that caught our attention the most were the remains with..:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the potter&#8217;s kiln: this small kiln is a reminder of the vital importance of the potter, present in every town and village to make all the crockery needed for everyday life!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the heated mosaic room in the house with the large peristyle: the remains of this house are without doubt the most impressive on the Vieux-la-Romaine site, and in particular one room where you can still make out a mosaic floor!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The very well-preserved mosaic remains in the reception room: still in the house with the large peristyle you&#8217;ll see a mosaic floor whose colors are still visible!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/photos\/i-zSx69Kk\/0\/63973a5d\/L\/i-zSx69Kk-L.jpg\" alt=\"View of the heated mosaic room in the large Peristyle house.  \"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View of the heated mosaic room in the large Peristyle house.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical advice<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open all year except January.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opening hours: 9am to 5pm weekdays, 10am to 6pm weekends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Closed on Wednesdays outside Zone B school vacations, May 1st, November 1st and 11th, December 24th, 25th and 31st.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suitable for children.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Duration of the visit: 1 hour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full adult price: \u20ac5<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Located in the village of Vieux (14930), 15min drive south-west of Caen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To find out more, visit the official website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vieuxlaromaine.fr\/accueil.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n<p><strong>Read more about it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Our full article on the Vieux-la-Romaine website will soon be available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n<div style=\"margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns inverse box_planif is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:58%\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\" style=\"padding-top:10px\">OUR ADVICE FOR <span>RENTING A CAR<\/span> IN<span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\"> Normandy<\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" style=\"font-size:14px\">\n<li>Compare prices on our preferred platform: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/france?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=NL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DiscoverCars<\/a> &#8211;
