Overlooking the city of Caen, the Romanesque abbey of the Abbaye aux Dames is one of the jewels of Norman heritage. It still houses in its choir the tomb of its famous founder, Matilda of Flanders, Duchess of Normandy, Queen of England and wife of William the Conqueror. From the 11th century crypt to the 18th century convent, the abbey church and its illustrious ladies cover 950 years of history.
