PORT DE CAEN/OUISTREHAM Bassin de Caen
About us
At the end of a lively canal the city awaits. Located in the heart of Caen, the pleasure harbour marks a spot where history and modernity unite. Boats are moored at the foot of William the Conqueror’s chateau where pubs, restaurants and shops abound in this vibrant urban setting. The path that leads you gently into the heart of this region is also highly varied. A three knot ride along the canal from Ouistreham takes you on a trip via modern port installations and historic sites like the Pegasus Bridge or the Benouville chateau.
