The Port of Caen where car ferry ships dock is Ouistreham on the coast of the Bay of Seine, 15km north of Caen, accessed via fast dual carriageway. Brittany Ferries and P & O Ferries operate daily ferry services from Portsmouth to Caen. Both ferry services dock at the Transmanche Terminal, situated on the west bank of the outer harbour. Transmanche is also used for the shipment of freight with 2.5m tonnes shipped in 2003. Ouistreham not only has excellent road links to the rest of Normandy, but also to Paris, Brittany, the Loire, and South-West France.
Caen Attractions. Caen is the capital and largest city of Basse Normandie, and lies between the Rivers Orne and Odon. Although badly damaged during its liberation in 1944, Caen has been delightfully reconstructed. Nowadays, it has something to offer everyone, from history and heritage, to busy shopping and pedestrian precincts with big Parisian stores and smaller specialised outlets, to the many restaurants and café’s that suite all tastes and pockets. The main market is on Friday and there's also a Sunday market. A bustling University City, Caen has a lots to do and see, day and night. To ‘discover’ Caen, it's best to stroll through the streets and city squares where you will find secret back courtyards that hide treasures of the city's past.
Visit the Church of Saint-Étienne at the Abbaye-aux-Hommes with its two, 295 foot towers topped by 13th century octagonal spires and the lantern-tower, considered a masterpiece. Also the Church of La Trinité at the Abbaye-aux-Dames. Unscathed by the war, both are beautiful Norman Romanesque style structures. The former Exchequer dating from the 11th century, that was the scene of a banquet thrown by Richard the Lionheart en route to the Crusades. Visit a garden replanted with herbs and medicinal plants that were cultivated here during the Middle Ages. Two museums worth visiting are: Musée des Beaux-Arts that gives a potted history of European art and Musée de Normandie, an overview of Norman history from the region's megalithic period to the impact of the Industrial Revolution. Caen has many war museums: the Museum of Peace is one you should not miss.
