Only three hours from Caen, you can take top quality uncrowded motorway almost all the way and although there are tolls they are not expensive.
Alternatively take the Route Nationale which is almost as quick and gives you the opportunity to stop in numerous Norman towns and villages for a leisurely meal on your way, or to take a good cup of coffee at one of the many road side cafes and bars.
From Calais or other northern French ports, the journey is a little longer, nearer four or five hours, but again there are excellent motorways which take you to Rouen and then the rest of the way.
Look out for the signs for many attractive villages and ruins well worth visiting on the way. If you aren't in a hurry to get here, it is a far better way to journey and arrive refreshed.
