On the map
Caen, capital of the Calvados in Normandy, sits a few kilometres from the Channel, connected to the sea by a canal and the Orne. Marked by William the Conqueror, who built two abbeys and a castle there, the city also carries the memory of the Battle of Normandy, evoked by its Mémorial. Bocage countryside and the D-Day landing beaches surround it.
Between estuary, canal and countryside, precision helps with orientation. The MGRS coordinates of a place in Caen make it possible to locate it on the map and guide navigation with MilMap.
