Taxi Caen → Falaise
Your Caen → Falaise transfer at €70–€85. 35 km via the N158.
A taxi between Caen and Falaise costs between €70 and €85 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 35 kilometres and a journey time of from 35 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes N158, with no tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €110. 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.

Falaise is a small town steeped in history, world-famous as the birthplace of William the Conqueror around 1027-1028. The castle of the Dukes of Normandy, perched on a rocky spur overlooking the town, is one of France's most impressive fortresses. It features three successive keeps (William's square keep, the round 13th-century Talbot Tower and the small keep) linked by fortified walls. Since 2019, an innovative digital experience uses tablets and holographic projections to reconstruct medieval life in the castle — particularly popular with children. The town also preserves fine medieval remnants: ramparts, fortified gates, the Church of the Trinity where William's father, Robert the Magnificent, supposedly spotted Arlette, William's mother, washing linen in the river below. Falaise was also the site of the terrible 'Falaise Pocket' in August 1944, the decisive battle that sealed the German defeat in Normandy.
