Beneath the gracious facades of Caen’s squares and churches lie secrets shaped by ambition, rebellion and whispers of scandal few ever hear. This self-guided audio tour unlocks the doors to a city where every stone keeps a story, inviting intrepid wanderers to see beyond the familiar and uncover the drama written into its past.

What desperate act once disrupted the peace at Place Saint-Sauveur during a night shrouded in fog? Who vanished without a trace from the shadows of Notre-Dame-de-la-Gloriette, leaving behind rumors that still ripple through its halls? Why did a minor disagreement at the Seminary of the Eudists spiral into a citywide spectacle remembered for generations?

Move through Caen’s winding streets and echoing vaults. Trace intrigue in sculpted stone, scandal among gilded altars, and the ghosts of power in forgotten alleyways. Every step transforms the city into a living, breathing mystery.

Begin now. The true Caen waits behind every historic wall.
