There is fun for all the family in Caen at Easter time and beyond when the annual Foire de Paques funfair takes place.

Located in the Normandy town at the Parc des Expositions, the event is held from April to May and includes over 130 rides.

Such a fair may add to the list of attractions that could draw Normandy property buyers or those who may rent accommodation from those who own it to the area.

Other features of the calendar in the town include the Les Equi’days equestrian event in October and the Nordik Impakt electronic music festival in November.

June brings more poignant memories when the region marks the 1944 D-Day landings with a number of services and ceremonies.

Visitors can see the beaches where the invasion took place, including some relics of the battlefields such as pillboxes.
