We have been travelling by train and were pleased to be able to check into the hotel by walking across the street from the train station.

La Consigne is conveniently located directly across the street from the main entrance to the Caen train station. This also made it easy to meet up with the guide from the Caen Memorial, who met us at the train station the next morning and then conducted our tour of the Memorial and of the D-Day beaches.
