CAEN, FRAC BASSE NORMANDIE
With reference to war, it is well understood in Caen, that the idea of MONUMENT is evoked within the
town just as much as on the nearby coast, the sites of the Allied Landings of 6 June 1944. The group of
landing beaches from Ouistreham to Arromanches are as much places of memory as are the numerous
small museums dedicated to the subject, the exposed tanks, as well as the hidden bunkers, all being
monuments to the soldiers of the British, Canadian and American allies. La Pointe du Hoc remains as
American territory and is a symbolic place. The American and German cemeteries, contrasting as they
are, exist as monuments in themselves.
The artists Diller and Scofido published the book: ‘Visite aux armées: tourismes de guerre’ (Visit the
Armies: the Tourism of War) with the FRAC Basse Normandie in 1994.
