Caen France

Certainly! Here is a clear, American English translation of your text: --- Caen is the capital of Lower Normandy and the Calvados department in northern France, with a population of 115,000. Caen is a college town, so it’s very lively. In the summer, tourists come to Normandy to see World War II sites and the Memorial for Peace. Caen is a modern city—four-fifths of it was destroyed in 1944 and rebuilt in the 1950s and 1960s. However, some old buildings still remain, especially churches. The most important places to visit in Caen are: the Memorial for Peace, a modern museum focused on World War II and the Cold War; Caen Castle, one of the largest medieval castles in Europe; and the Abbaye aux Hommes and Abbaye aux Dames, which are wonderful examples of Romanesque architecture. Caen is close enough to the D-Day sites to serve as a base for exploring them.
