Travel Guide Saline

From the merger of Troarn and Sannerville was born the new commune of Saline. How to disturbresidents and tourists. But the new territorial breakdowns must not obscure the past. All the communes have a story, so, "fire" Troarn. Located at the edge of the Caen Plain and the Country of Auge, the commune, in the time of its prosperity, was a village of stage on the road of Caen to Rouen. Today, while retaining a commercial and agricultural character, the old center has a green suburb on the outskirts of Caen with a rather residential vocation. Around it, it offers a landscape of marshes, low country of over 7,000 hectares drained by a complex network of rivers (the Dives, Muance) and canals. The quiet community was massively devastated during the battle of 1944 and the village destroyed at 65%. She was released only on August 17, 1944. Another time, another treasure: The vestiges of the Abbaye Saint-Martin, founded in 1048, can be admired at the exit of the commune in the direction of Dozulé. His construction was strongly encouraged by Guillaume the Conqueror who made several visits during the preparation of his troops on the Dive for the Battle of Hastings.
