About the host
Hosted by Host
The owners of Icone Collection are passionate about real estate and history. They do everything in their power to make their guests feel at home in the accomodations they provide and each of the properties in their portfolio has a specific history.
L'Expérience d'Elie is no exception to the rule: when the city of Caen modernized at the start of the 20th century, the main changes concerned the education facilities.
Thus, the separation of church and state in 1905 gave the city the opportunity to build a high school for young girls on the grounds of the Ursuline convent destroyed in 1910. The high school (now the College Pasteur), of which Jules Oyer was the architect, opened in 1914.
Likewise, established here for centuries, the old university has extended and occupied then the area between the streets Pasteur, aux Namps, Saint-Sauveur and the bedside of the old Saint-Sauveur. It had been partly destroyed by the bombardments of 1944 and the whole district has been razed to be rebuilt except for the church of Old Saint Sauveur, the pastor college and ... 1 rue Elie de Beaumont!
