CLINIQUE DE LA PLANCHE
Read moreIt's been a reference for 40 years! Two stores for the same name and the same passion. In the first one, rue de la Dives, you can admire the numerous cups won by the Adrien family, father and son, specialized in windsurfing and more generally, in the practice of activities related to water. In the second one, at the Demi-Lune traffic circle, you can find all the big brands in sportswear and surfwear as well as the equipment to practice kitesurf. Outside, kayaks, canoes, sand yachts, surfboards and speed sails are to be discovered!

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced climber, if you want to climb the Mont-Blanc or the small cliff next to your house, you will find what you need.
SPEEDY
Read moreYears that Olivier occupies this space in downtown. It is true, we go ahead often, we know it is there but good… Fortunately, word of mouth works! And we discover this centre of over 800 m ², which welcomes you with open arms. There's already the ring as soon as one enters, and then we see the "chef" (it's the mechanics who call it this) who kitchen with its "second" engines, put oil, drain, suggest, and is not avare of advice. It's a pity that it doesn't make a mess but it's going to be there, it's in the city centre, and you can find a room that's missing from colleagues across France, exactly the same rate as any Speedy. And as Olivier says, in any case: it is the car that commands!
BUD SKATESHOP CAEN
Read moreWhat could be better than a shop run by skateboarders for skateboarders?
