Dear all, I'm hoping to be in Caen from fall 2010-spring 2011. I am passionate about volunteer work, but unfortunately I don't know any particular social problems that Caen is faced with. Would anyone who knows the area please give me some insight?

Mont Saint Michel Bus info from Rouen to Mont St Michel
Posted: Mon August 10, 2009 12:46 AM UTC
Hi All,

I've been trying to locate any bus websites which would provide me some assurances that there are buses available for a journey from Rouen to Mont St Michel. I will be staying a few days in Rouen and would like to avoid taking the train back to Paris to connect to Mont St Michel.

Any advice on websites where they provide a bus service direct from Rouen to Mont St Michel would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Bayeux Sunday openings
Posted: Wed July 29, 2009 02:43 AM UTC
We will be arriving in Paris (CDG) on Saturday morning 8/8/09, and want to go to Normandie. Any hints on the best way to get there and where to stay for about 40-50 euro? We posted on the Caen forum to ask if the museum & memorials are open on Sundays.We read there are no tours on Sundays, is this true? Normally don't do tours but think we won't be able to figure out what & where things happened. tour recommendations. Is rental car necessary. What auto rental is most econmical? We would really appreciate any feedback and your time in responding. again thanks in advance

Caen Stop-off near Caen
Posted: Sun July 19, 2009 03:15 PM UTC
Hi there,

I will be driving from Calais to Rennes for my holidays and am looking for somewhere to stop off in the Caen area. We'd like a place that's easily accessible from the A13 / A84 where we can stop off and eat early evening, perhaps with some nice scenery or culture to take in. Any suggestions very much appreciated as we do not know the area at all!

Thanks

Mont Saint Michel Bus from Rennes to Mont Saint Michel
Posted: Mon May 18, 2009 11:22 PM UTC
Does anybody know how frequently the buses run from Rennes to Mont Saint Michel. I know they tend to wait for the TGV to arrive, but do they run after each TGV, in between etc? Do the schedules change during summer (I'm planning to go in mid August)

Any information about the schedule would be welcome.

Mont Saint Michel Best way to travel Paris to Mont St. Michel and Back
Posted: Sat April 25, 2009 11:52 PM UTC
Fellow Travelers!
Please help! My husband and I have two days and one night to travel from Paris via car to Mont St. Michel and Back.
We plan on spending the night at a hotel on Mont St. Michel and wish to see the D-day beaches, Honfleur and maybe the WWII museum in Caen at a minimum.
Please tell me if this is completely unrealistic of an itinerary or if you'd omit something- what would you omit: Giverny? Rouen? WWII Museum?:
Day One:
Rent car in am from Paris
Optional stop in Rouen (is it worth it given the time factor?)
Or.. optional stop in Honfeur or Deuville?
Stop in Caen to see WWII museum
Drive to Mont St-Michel for dinner and spend the night
Day Two:
Visit Bayeux
Visit D-Day beaches
Stop in Deauville, Hongleiur and Trouville
Stop in Giverny on the way back to Paris?
Drive back to Paris
- Thanks for your help!

Caen Train from Rennes to Caen
Posted: Wed March 11, 2009 02:54 PM UTC
Hi My OAP mother and her equally elderly friend are flying from dublin to attend my brothers weddings in Caen. One option is to fly to Paris and get a train from the st lazare ? train station. That would require them navigating through the paris metro and being able to figure out what platform their train will leave from. They have no french.
My two questions are, is there a direct train from Rennes train station? It might be a bit easier to figure out then paris and they can fly to Rennes. Also I notice that caen has a airport, does anyone know if they are any flights into caen airport from the UK ? They are travelling in July.
Thankyou very much.
