Taxi Caen → Rouen
Your Caen → Rouen transfer at €250–€305. 130 km via the A13.
A taxi between Caen and Rouen costs between €250 and €305 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 130 kilometres and a journey time of from 90 to 115 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A13, with ~€10 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €395. 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.

Rouen is one of France's great historic cities, dubbed the 'city of a hundred spires' by Victor Hugo. Former capital of Upper Normandy and prefecture of Seine-Maritime, it houses exceptional architectural heritage: the Notre-Dame Cathedral (painted over thirty times by Monet), the Gros-Horloge (Renaissance astronomical clock), the Church of Saint-Maclou (Flamboyant Gothic masterpiece), the Aître Saint-Maclou (medieval charnel house) and entire streets of remarkably preserved half-timbered houses. Rouen is also the city of Joan of Arc, burned at the stake in the Place du Vieux-Marché on 30 May 1431 — the square, the modern Church of Sainte-Jeanne-d'Arc and the Historial Jeanne d'Arc in the Archbishop's Palace trace her tragic story. The Caen — Rouen taxi journey crosses the magnificent Pays d'Auge, heartland of Norman cheese and cider, offering an immersion in the landscapes that inspired the Impressionist painters. A taxi is the ideal option for travellers wishing to connect the two Norman capitals without the constraints of the train (frequent changes, outlying stations).
Route
Route Caen → Rouen
Your driver leaves Caen via the A13 towards Paris. The motorway crosses the Pays d'Auge, land of Norman cheeses (Pont-l'Évêque, Livarot, Camembert) and cider — the apple orchards in blossom in spring are an enchanting sight. You pass the Beuzeville and Bourneville service areas before joining the Seine valley. The A13 then follows the river, offering fine views of its meanders and chalk cliffs. The descent into Rouen via the Canteleu hill provides a spectacular panorama of the city, its spires and the Seine. Your driver drops you in the city centre, at Rouen-Rive-Droite station or your hotel. Tolls amount to approximately €10. The journey takes 1h30 normally and can reach 1h55 during Friday evening peaks.

Specific tips for the Caen → Rouen route
If you have time, ask your driver to exit the A13 at Pont-l'Évêque for a cheese break — local producer shops offer free tastings of AOP Pont-l'Évêque and Livarot. In Rouen, the Notre-Dame Cathedral (free entry) is awe-inspiring — look for the façades painted by Monet (Rouen's Fine Arts Museum owns one of his Cathedral series paintings). The Gros-Horloge is visitable (€8) to climb to the top and understand the mechanism. Rue du Gros-Horloge and Place du Vieux-Marché are the hearts of Rouen life. The Vieux-Marché market (Tuesday-Sunday mornings) is excellent for Norman produce. The Historial Jeanne d'Arc (€10.50) is a remarkable immersive experience. For those with a sweet tooth, Rouen's apple sugar sweets are the local speciality.
