What about Caen? What's so interesting about Caen?
I like it here very much. The most intense Normandy landing campaign took place here. Caen, a port city in northern France, is near the Channel of La Manche (English Channel) and is the capital of calvados Province. Located at the intersection of Yi 'an River and Aodong River. Population1140,000, including suburb1100,000 (1.9.2). Business flourished in the sixteenth century. It was severely damaged in World War II and rebuilt after the war. Located on the Caen Plain, there is a 14-kilometer-long Caen Canal, which is connected with the sea. One of the important ports in France, importing coke, wood and oil; Export iron ore and metallurgical products. Ironmaking center, as well as textile and food industries. There are universities built in14th century. The historic Caen is located in the northwest of France, about 200 kilometers away from Paris and only a dozen kilometers away from the English Channel. It is the capital of basse-normandie and the capital of many provinces in Calva. Caen was the first to bear the brunt of the famous Normandy campaign in World War II. 1944 When Caen was liberated, it was in ruins and 5% of the buildings were destroyed. At the end of World War II, the city was in ruins. From the land month of 1944, the two-month offensive and defensive war destroyed three-quarters of the whole city in the war, and even the steeple of St. Michel's church, which was deeply loved by people, was destroyed, leaving a miserable scene in the future. After the war, Caen's industry developed rapidly, especially the steel industry. In addition, Caen has also built industrial zones including automobiles, electrical equipment, electronic components and other industries in the areas of Yi 'an River and Hegang Canal with convenient water transportation conditions. Caen is a city with a long history. Before World War I, it was called "Athens in the North" because of its developed culture. There is a university rebuilt in 1995 in Caen, which has experienced the baptism of war. This university was founded by King Henry VI of England in 1432. Today, at the gate of Caen University, stands a bronze sculpture of "Phoenix Nirvana", which symbolizes the rebirth of Caen. There are also two Romanesque churches that survived the war, Saint Etienne Church and Trinity Church, which were built in 1 1 century and carefully maintained by the municipal government. On September 9, the Normandy Campaign Memorial Hall was officially opened. The museum reproduces the thrilling historical scenes of four or four years ago and introduces the history of World War II to the audience with various materials. The designer of the memorial hall ingeniously named it "Peace Memorial Hall". The characteristic city of Caen is like being built on a huge green carpet. There are many cows in full of green, a grassland pasture in the southwest of the city, where the famous Camembert cheese is produced. Urban traffic also pursues environmental protection effect, and a brand-new tire tram has been put into use. This kind of tram runs almost without noise, with an average speed of 20 kilometers per hour. Each tram is 24.5 meters long and consists of three articulated cars, which can accommodate 1 to 50 passengers. Compared with traditional models, the investment cost is reduced by 40%. Dural Castle dural Castle stands in the center of Caen, occupying the most conspicuous position. The scale of this castle is very large. 1 1 century, King William of England was driven out of the house because of blood marriage. He and his wife Princess Mathilde came to Caen and built their castle. So I regard it as a love story, and the unhappied marriage is written in this castle.
