Visite libre de l'Abbaye aux Hommes

Dominated by the Saint-Etienne abbey church, a jewel of Romanesque and Gothic architecture, housing the tomb of its illustrious founder, the Abbaye aux Hommes is a central place in the history and life of the people of Caen.

Accessible rooms: the cloister, the chauffoir, the scriptorium, the grand staircase and the portery. The chauffoir and the porterie host permanent exhibition spaces included in the self-guided tour. The scriptorium regularly hosts temporary exhibitions, which you can also discover during your visit.
A map will be provided when you exchange your voucher.

Due to the occupation of certain rooms, some areas may be closed to the public depending on how the site is used.
