"Caen et Bayeux" by Henri Prentout is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work provides an overview of the development of the cities of Caen and Bayeux, highlighting their architectural monuments and artistic significance through various historical periods. It aims to offer a chronological insight into the cities' evolution rather than an exhaustive history, emphasizing their unique cultural and artistic traits. The opening of the work sets the
stage for a discussion on the general characteristics of Caen, contrasting it with the more grandiose Rouen. The author describes the picturesque view of Caen, known as the "city of churches," and mentions significant historical connections, such as its ties to England and its role as an artistic and educational center. Pren tout also expresses his intent to utilize previous works and documents as the foundation for his exploration, acknowledging the contributions of others while celebrating the artistic masterpieces of these two historic cities.
