May 10, 2025,Caen to Ouistreham

A short loop through Caen, managing to pick off some of the impressive older parts as well as the pretty nice newer parts.

Easy and low-stress to cycle through the city.

from the station (near my Point A), one could just follow the Orne and take the Voie Verte (Greenway) all the way to Ouistreham.
