Port de Plaisance de Ouistreham
Port de Plaisance de Ouistreham sits at the mouth of the Caen Canal in Normandy, giving you direct access to the English Channel with the bonus of an outer harbour that's accessible at any state of the tide. It's a proper working maritime town, with the Brittany Ferries terminal next door and the D-Day beaches of Sword and Juno just minutes away by bike or car. The marina is managed jointly with its sister port up the canal in Caen city centre, so you've got a real network here rather than an isolated stop.
