Parc Michel d'Ornano

Inspired by André Le Nôtre and inaugurated in September 1992, the Abbaye aux Dames park is dedicated to Michel d'Ornano, President of the Basse-Normandie Regional Council from 1983 to 1986. With its wide lawns and linden-tree lanes, this 'French-style' park offers over 5 hectares of places to walk and a breathtaking view over the city of Caen from the Cedar of Lebanon, planted in 1849. There are children's games and picnic tables at the back of the park.
