I'd like to visit Caen soon and I'm going to take an overnight ferry from Portsmouth to Ouistreham which arrives at 7 a.m. How can I get to Caen???
To get back to UK, I'm going to take overnight ferry again from Ouistreham to Portsmouth which leaves at 23.30 from Ouistreham. How can I get from Caen to Ouistreham to catch the ferry??? Iknow that there're shuttle bus but not for each ferry. Can somebody help me, please. I'm really looking forward to seeing norman/romanesque churches in Caen. Thank You in advance.

Hello!
I know it's been a couple years but thought I'd try asking . . .
I can't read the French and am wondering if you know how early the bus runs from Caen to the ferry port? I need to catch the 8:30 ferry which means I need to be there no later than 7:45am, preferably 7:30. Do you know if they run that early? I guess it'd still be line 1, and can I get that from the train station?
Thanks!
Of course you can ask.
However: ferry port? Where?
I can't check the schedule if I don't know exactly where you're going.
Caen, as being the administrative capitol of Bass-Normandie (Lower Normandy) also has the seat of hihger court. This Palace of Justice is situated in a monumental neoclassic temple shaped building near the Abbaye des Hommes, the Hotel de Ville and Saint-Etienne-le-Vieux.
Let's not make ourselves guilty of discrimination. When one visits the Abbaye des Hommes (Men's Abbey), then also visit the Abbaye des Dames (Women's Abbey). On the other side of the city centre, a beautiful abbey is next to an even more beautiful church, the Sainte-Trinity. Here too the interior should be not left aside, however this time because often interesting expositions are held in the abbey.
Caen is served by the small port of Ouistreham, lying at the mouth of the Caen Canal where it meets the English Channel. A ferry service operates between Portsmouth in the United Kingdom and Caen/Ouistreham running both standard roll-on-roll-off car ferries and supercat fast ferries, with the latter making crossing from March to November. The ferry terminal is 15 km from Caen with a daytime shuttle bus service for foot passengers.
Caen is known for its historical buildings built during the reign of William the Conqueror, who was buried here, and for the Battle for Caen—heavy fighting that took place in and around Caen during the Battle of Normandy in 1944, destroying much of the town.
