The history of the district

The Saint-Gilles district, part of the Saint-Jean-Eudes - Saint-Gilles area, stretches north-east of the centre of Caen, between the Saint-Pierre basin, the Abbaye-aux-Dames and the boundary with Hérouville-Saint-Clair. It is a residential district close to the centre, marked by older housing and a well-rooted neighbourhood life.

The neighbouring Saint-Jean-Eudes area developed during the twentieth century, in particular as a workers' estate linked to port and industrial activity. Saint-Gilles, older and more central, has kept a fabric of apartment buildings and houses. The closeness of the peninsula under conversion and of the Abbaye-aux-Dames places the district within the transformation of the north of the city. The Twisto bus network and the closeness of the tram provide transport services.

Sought after for its closeness to the centre, its older housing and its neighbourhood life, Saint-Gilles sits in the core of the Caen market. Demand focuses on apartments and houses close to the centre, both for a first purchase and for investment, carried by the transformation of the neighbouring peninsula areas.
