theatrical tours

Last night Mystery Guest and I went on a fantastic tour of Caen. Different from other city tours, this is actually a theatrical tour of the city. Starting at the tourist office with a brief 1-act play the guide then takes over and leads the group around the city. There are different stops with other 1-act plays telling different tales from different historical periods related to Caen. I had heard of this special summer-time only guided tour thanks to the beautiful Princess Virginie who's friend is an actress here in town.










It is such a different way to see a city that you are visiting, or even one that you live in. We wandered through streets that I had been down a million times but never knew behind-the-scenes stories. The actors were at the same time funny and powerful as they played their scene infront of ancient churches or monuments. With the costumes and the setting you were automatically transported back in history.

Very impressive.

So if you're around Caen either living here or passing through during the summer I'd highly recommend this tour :)
