At the gateway to the Côte de Nacre, this fishing and yachting port is ideal for a day's getaway.
You can discover the D-Day landing beaches or treat yourself to a moment of well-being.
As soon as you arrive, you'll be charmed by the peaceful atmosphere of the marina, where fishing boats and colourful sailing ships set the pace of local life.
Every morning, you can attend the fish auction and sample fresh fish and seafood.
Walk along the pedestrian promenade to Riva-Bella beach, 5km long and famous for its fine sand and retro bathing cabins.
A stone's throw away, the 38-metre-high Ouistreham lighthouse offers a breathtaking panorama of the English Channel.
A little further on, the covered market invites you to discover the local produce, perfect for a gourmet break.
Ouistreham, the emblematic site of the D-Day landings, is home to several must-see sites.
The N°4 Commando Museum pays tribute to the British soldiers who landed on 6 June 1944.
The Grand Bunker, meanwhile, offers an incredible immersion into the remains of the Atlantic Wall.
Nearby Sword Beach is a reminder of the historic importance of the Normandy coastline. It is also the only beach where French commandos landed.
