Ferries to and from Caen

Caen sits in Normandy on Mainland France’s northern coast, so it’s a handy Destination for ferry trips from the UK. It’s not an Island, but a historic port city surrounded by countryside, beaches, and small coastal towns. Many travelers choose Caen when they want to reach northern France by sea and then drive or take public transport onward. Routes from Portsmouth are especially popular, since they connect directly across the Channel. From Caen, you can continue to other parts of France, or keep things simple and base yourself in the region’s towns, museums, and World War II sites.
