Légende

Caen College, 1858. Burial-place of William the Conqueror. 'In the chancel of William's church - that of St. Stephen - his remains lie...This church...and the adjacent beautiful structure, formerly its abbey, now [house] the College or Lyceum of Caen...Caen has been termed the Oxford of France; and, like Oxford, it has ever been a seat of learning. Its university - now represented by a lyceum, an academy, and five other scientific establishments - owes its origin to the founder of Eton, Henry VI., King of England...Of the vastness and perfection of the principal lyceum..., the finest in France...an idea may be formed from the fact that there are above two hundred interne students, and each has a bedroom to himself'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
