The commercial heart of La Maladrerie, once a hamlet of Caen like La Folie and Couvre-chef, is on the Planître and on market day rue du Général Moulin. A 12th-century leprosarium that became a central prison in the early 19th century, the Maladrerie is adjacent to Beaulieu, from where the view extends as far as the Cinglais. The church of Saint Germain de la Blanche Herbe dominates this district. Further down, the Saint Paul district boasts Swedish houses and the architecture and fresco of its church.
