You can then reach Gare Saint-Lazare by metro (line 4 then line 14, or RER E) in 15-20min. From there, an Intercit\u00e9s train will take you to Caen in around 1h50.

Caen-Carpiquet Airport offers a few seasonal routes to destinations in southern France and the Mediterranean basin (Lyon, Marseille, Ajaccio, Bastia, Porto, depending on the year and the airline).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flight availability remains limited, however, and varies from season to season. We advise you to check which connections are available at the time of planning. For the majority of international travelers, Paris airports remain the most reliable option.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skyscanner.pxf.io\/dONaXy\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow\">Compare flights to Caen-Carpiquet.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting to the city center from Caen-Carpiquet Airport<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The airport is just 7km from the center of Caen. Several options are available to you:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>By shuttle\/bus:<\/strong> the Twisto bus service links the airport to the city center in around 20 minutes. Frequency depends on flight schedules.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>By cab:<\/strong> allow around 15 minutes and \u20ac15-25 to reach the center.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>By rental car:<\/strong> a number of agencies are available at the airport. We recommend booking in advance, as the choice is more limited than in Paris.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">By ferry from England &#8211; via the port of Ouistreham<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ferry is a particularly attractive option for travelers from the UK. The port of Ouistreham, also known as &#8220;Caen-Ouistreham&#8221;, lies just 15km north of Caen, on the English Channel coast.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Portsmouth &#8211; Ouistreham route<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brittany Ferries operates regular crossings between Portsmouth (England) and Ouistreham. The crossing takes around 6 hours during the day and 7 hours at night. In high season, several departures a day are guaranteed; in low season, the frequency decreases.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ferries fill up fast in summer.

If you arrive by car, the road is direct and well signposted. For pedestrians, a bus service (Twisto line) links the ferry terminal to Caen, but timetables are based on ship arrivals. A cab is also a quick solution.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">By car<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Paris<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The A13 freeway provides a direct link between Paris and Caen. The route covers approximately 230km and takes 2h15 in normal traffic conditions. At peak times (Friday evenings, weekend departures), leaving Paris can add 30 minutes to 1 hour to your driving time.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tolls:<\/strong> the A13 is a toll freeway for most of its length.<br\/><strong>Parking in Caen:<\/strong> the city center has several underground parking lots, notably near the Ch\u00e2teau de Caen and Place Saint-Pierre.
