Means of transport Calvados

Just 10 km from the city centre and easily accessible by car or bus, Caen Airport is attracting more and more passengers every year. The airport's dynamism is reflected in its current and renewed destinations: Ajaccio, Bastia, Calvi, Figari from spring to autumn and Lyon, Marseille, Montpellier, Nice, Toulouse almost all year round. Note that parking is easy here, and car rental services are available.

Protected by a 770 m granite block breakwater, this private port is accessible 16 hours a day. It includes a sluice basin, an afloat basin and a tidal basin. Port-Deauville offers exceptional services: concierge service and a 24-hour human presence at the lock. The show is also on the docks where boats of wealthy people are often moored. The marina, combining holiday and pleasure boating, faces the port of Trouville, so close, so different.

Port-Guillaume, built in the 1990s on the site of a former metallurgy factory, has the largest capacity in the Côte Fleurie. It is located at the mouth of the Dives estuary, sheltered by a dune ridge. A nice stopover for boaters between Deauville and Ouistreham. The wet dock offers a capacity of 600 berths on catwalks. A residential area with restaurants, a media library, and a sailing school, Port-Guillaume is adjacent to the fishing port, with its fish auction. A market is held on Monday mornings in season

If you're lucky enough to own a boat, don't hesitate to visit this friendly, well-equipped marina: water and electric hook-up from the pontoon, toilets, showers, fuel, mechanic, and laundry nearby, WiFi, launching ramp, 10-berth waiting pontoon, 8-ton crane, and careening area. All this at an affordable price, which varies according to boat size. Information at the harbour office or town hall.

A nice stopover to visit this little port famous for its Saint-Jacques shell. But not only. A village of fishermen, beautiful, calm and pleasant, nestled between its guards of the cliffs of cliffs that we discover when arriving at the port and which can be seen, from the higher, since the Tour Vauban. Take the time to stroll, make full of food; to take a drink on the terrace and visit the fishermen at the auction, before resuming the sea.

It is one of the five harbour basins in the city. For, despite its location, Caen has always been a port city. As early as the Middle Ages, it had its own port to facilitate economic exchanges as much as possible. It should be noted that at that time, the river Orne was navigable. Now, it is the canal built in 1857 that links the city to the sea. After its west wharf was put forward in the 2000s, the southern part of the sector was reconfigured with the opening of the Rives de l'Orne and, more recently, the redevelopment of the peninsula.

As the land of the horse, it is a transit hub for horses, especially champions from Ireland and England, all year round.

If you're a cycling enthusiast, grab your handlebars and follow us to the new address of the Maison du Vélo. It offers a wide range of services: bicycle and equipment rentals, a bike school (to remind you of the code of good conduct). But that's not all, there's also a repair workshop where you're the mechanic! And because cycling is green, Vélisol collects bicycles, renovates them, and gets them back in the saddle, so to speak... It's a great way to get a cheap bike, as long as you get your hands dirty too!

To get around easily throughout the Caen la Mer area, use the Twisto reflex!

The public transport network, managed by the Caen la Mer urban community, comprises 3 tramway lines and 70 bus routes criss-crossing the region. It's got it all: wide-ranging timetables, local and long-distance routes, and even a cute little red electric shuttle bus - free of charge above all - in downtown Caen! The racks are rechargeable and can be used with NomadCar14 or SNCF TER trains - not bad, eh? Twisto also offers a host of services to make your day-to-day life easier: on-demand reservations, real-time traffic information... Take advantage of their super-smart app, which lets you calculate your itinerary, find out when your bus/tram will be arriving next, thanks to geolocation, and buy your ticket on e-Ticket.

Twisto Vélo. All in the saddle! Twisto is also a self-service bicycle system. How does Vélolib work? You pick up a bike at one of the 23 stations and drop it off at another. We've tried it out for you: the first time, registering at the terminal, quickly choosing your bike, unhooking it... It can get stressful, but everything goes smoothly. Admittedly heavy (we modified our itinerary a little), the bike is very stable, the saddle really comfortable, the brakes in perfect condition, and we were able to enjoy a great ride on Caen's many cycle paths. What's more, if you take out a subscription, you get a free battery. How nice!

Twisto Access. On-demand transport service for people with reduced mobility. Adapted vehicles circulate in 50 communes of Caen la mer, providing a door-to-door service dedicated to people with mobility difficulties.

Parcs Relais. To make your life easier, there are also park-and-ride facilities. These are parking lots reserved for subscribers and passengers with a Twisto ticket. Leave your vehicle and continue your journey by bus or streetcar. To leave the parking lot, simply present your validated ticket (contactless ticket or Twisto Atoumod card).

Twisto Auto. If you want to travel outside your line's operating hours or outside Caen la Mer, there's another solution for you: Twisto Auto. Do you have a driving license? Thanks to this service, accessible 24 hours a day via your smartphone, you can use a self-service car for occasional needs (€5 per hour). The network currently has eight Twisto Auto vehicles (electric Zoé and hybrid Clio) at eight stations in Caen, Hérouville-Saint-Clair and Ouistreham.

Your ticket is refillable, so don't throw it away - you can use it for 2 years! And this summer, don't forget the Ticket plage: a return trip to the sea at a low price.

Pleasant marina where it is good to spend a few days to enjoy the shopping streets, restaurants and small bistros, the beach, museums, including the Juno Beach Centre. It's a great opportunity to meet the fishermen. The port with some 20 boats is strongly anchored and attached to the activity at sea. A wide variety of fish, shellfish and crustaceans are landed throughout the year. Stock up on provisions every day at the stalls of the Allied dock. It's rare to find anything better on the coast.

BlablaCar Bus serves Caen, Le Havre and Rouen. The advantages are many, including the fact that you don't need a car, and above all the very low fares - sometimes just a few euros, no more - provided you book your ticket well in advance! Of course, journey times can be long (there are many intermediate stops), but if you're travelling to Normandy from the capital, you'll find the journey time largely acceptable, and the service is punctual. Please note: buses may arrive in different parts of the capital.
