Life in Caen la mer

An urban community on a human scale

From listed buildings in Caen's city centre to residential homes only a few kilometres from the sea, via the great architectural diversity of Hérouville-Saint-Clair's urban « laboratory », you are sure to find the home you're looking for amidst Caen la mer's property supply.

A complementary bus and tram network

No matter where you live, the Twisto public transport network will rapidly and comfortably take you from A to B throughout the conurbation. Furthermore, with Timeo, your on-the-spot timetable, you can consult the exact times of the next two buses or trams by calling via your mobile from the tram or bus stop!

A variety of local services

With its local shops, weekly and festive markets (Christmas fairs,...) and major retail parks such as Mondeville 2 to the south of the conurbation, Caen la mer's retail trading supply has no cause to be jealous of larger districts. Caen is also home to both the Calvados and the Regional Préfecture, a plus for your paperwork!

An opening towards the sea

A genuine « artery » from the heart of the town to the sea, the canal linking the central St Pierre basin to the English Channel is a constant reminder of our maritime proximity and of the specific character of our landscape. And it's by no way pure coincidence that one of the major urban development projects for the coming years involves the improvement of the banks of the Orne…
So, even if you don't need to be a sailor to live in Caen la mer, you surely won't resist the appeal of its beaches, from their warm sands and memories of the liberation to the proximity of the English shores.
