Taxi Caen → Honfleur
Your Caen → Honfleur transfer at €115–€140. 60 km via A13 and the Normandy Bridge.
A taxi between Caen and Honfleur costs between €115 and €140 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 60 kilometres and a journey time of from 50 to 65 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A13 then Normandy Bridge, with ~€7 in tolls (including the Pont de Normandie). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €185. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Honfleur is one of France's most photogenic towns. Its Vieux Bassin (Old Harbour), a pleasure port surrounded by tall 16th- and 17th-century slate-fronted houses, has been the subject of thousands of paintings since Eugène Boudin, precursor of Impressionism, was born here in 1824. Claude Monet, Johan Barthold Jongkind, Gustave Courbet and many other artists tirelessly painted the changing reflections of the harbour, the unique light of the Seine estuary and Norman skies. Honfleur is also a place of maritime history: it was from here that Samuel de Champlain set sail to found Quebec City in 1608, and Norman explorers sailed the world's seas from this port. The Church of Sainte-Catherine, built entirely of wood by shipwrights in the 15th century, is unique in France for its double nave and separate bell tower. The salt granaries, cobbled old-town lanes, ubiquitous art galleries and seafood restaurants on Quai Sainte-Catherine make Honfleur an essential Normandy destination. A taxi from Caen is the most practical way to reach this small town poorly served by rail — the nearest station is at Deauville-Trouville, 15 km away.
Route
Route Caen → Honfleur
Your driver leaves Caen via the A13 towards Paris/Rouen. The motorway crosses the Pays d'Auge countryside with its pastures, stud farms and orchards. After Pont-l'Évêque, you branch north towards the Pont de Normandie. This majestic cable-stayed bridge, opened in 1995, spans the Seine estuary over 2,141 metres — it was the world's longest cable-stayed bridge when inaugurated. The crossing offers an exceptional panorama over the estuary, Le Havre to the west and the Seine valley to the east. The Pont de Normandie toll is approximately €5.50 (included in the price). After the bridge, the descent to Honfleur is quick — 5 minutes via the D580. Your driver drops you as close as possible to the Vieux Bassin, ideally Place Sainte-Catherine or the harbour car park. Total journey time is 50 minutes normally and can reach 1h05 in peak summer when access to Honfleur is congested.
Main route: A13 then Normandy Bridge — ~€7 in tolls (including the Pont de Normandie)
