Paul & John, The Conquerors

This is our palace! We conquered Caen in a couple of hours - the place further east from Rouen where William The Conqueror lived and died. The church in the picture contains his tomb with only his right femur!!!

Caen centres around William whose church and fortress were built by him in the 1060's.

Caen is also close to the place where the allied forces landed in 1944 to liberate France - we are visiting this place tomorrow - so stay tuned!
