The city of Caen is steeped in a rich history, not least because of its involvement in the D-Day landings during the Second World War. If you're planning a visit with your family, as a couple or with friends, and you want to relive this historic period by visiting the Memorial, it's vital to find a hotel that offers quick access to the D-Day landing beaches. The hotel Première Classe de Saint Contest has now welcomed lots of travellers who have enjoyed a really pleasant stay. So why not do the same? Here's the key information you need to know.
The hotel Première Classe in Caen Nord - Mémorial is easily accessible. So no matter where you start from, there are several routes you can take to get to the facility. If you are coming from Paris or Rouen on the A13, the best option is to take the ring road north of Caen and exit at junction 7. Then follow the signs for the Memorial, then head for Rosel at the D-Day roundabout. If you arrive by train at the Unicité bus station, simply take the 6B bus, which passes right by the hotel.
