Trade is moving in Caen, with nearly 30 new shops
By Writing Caen
Published on
Health crisis or not, Caen (Calvados) has at least one constant and dynamic sector: its shops. Compared to others – Angers, Tours, Dijon or Rouen, the city has less commercial vacancy, according to a recent study. Barely 7% of empty cases out of more than 1,500 existing cells in the center. This does not prevent renewal, with the creation and launch of 27 new businesses between the beginning of summer 2022 and the start of the school year. Overview, sector by sector
