Caen is named as a filming location in the Wikipedia articles of 6 productions, in the section each entry below links back to. No Wikidata filming statement points here yet, so this page says plainly which kind of evidence it rests on.

5 places inside Caen have a page of their own: listed below. Everything shot at them is already named above, recorded against Caen as well.

“Filming took place at the Abbaye aux Hommes and the Abbaye aux Dames in Caen, at the Abbaye Saint-Martin de Sées in Sées (Orne), on the grounds of the Château de Sassy, the marshes of Colombières and Troarn, the gardens of the Château de Canon, and at the Château de Villette (Val-d'Oise).”

Set here, per Wikipedia
