SNCF strike in Caen: how to reach Paris, the station, or the airport

Strike, cancelled train, or delay: get out of Caen anyway

Social action, a signalling fault, track works, or a replacement bus that doesn’t show up: in Caen, the station can find itself blocked overnight. The station is a twenty-minute walk from the centre and far from the coast: Ouistreham, Courseulles, or the D-Day landing beaches require a second form of transport.

We put vehicles into circulation on those days, with a driver, starting from your address in Caen and heading to the destination of your choice: Paris, a Parisian station still in service, Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, Orly, Beauvais, or another city in Normandy. A call to 06 88 14 67 82 is enough to know in one minute what is still possible.

How much does it cost from Caen?

The price is for the vehicle, not per person. With four passengers heading to Paris, it comes to around 71 € per person, often less than a last-minute train ticket, without connections and without queuing.

Situations we handle most often

• National or local strike: traffic reduced to one train in three, crowded platforms, booking impossible.
• Train cancelled in the morning: you have a meeting, an exam, court, or a board meeting.
• Missed connection: you are stuck at an intermediate station, we come to pick you up.
• Flight to catch: there are no trains early enough for a 6 a.m. boarding.
• School bus or regional line cancelled: nothing else serves your town.
• Returning from an evening out: the last train left at 9 p.m., you are still at the table.
• Team travel: five to nine colleagues to take to the same place, in a single vehicle.

Booking in an emergency: how-to

1. Call 06 88 14 67 82 and provide your departure address in Caen, your destination, and your required arrival time.
2. We confirm in a few minutes the vehicle, driver, and fixed price.
3. The driver arrives at the indicated address; they will call you upon arrival.
4. You pay by card on board or by invoice if your employer is covering the trip.

Tip: as soon as a strike notice is announced, book the day before. The 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. slots go first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book a vehicle on the same day in Caen?

Yes, depending on our availability. On strike days, call as early as possible: demand far exceeds supply between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m.

Does the price increase on strike days?

No. We apply the same price list as on a normal day, with the usual night and public holiday supplements, announced in advance.

Can my employer pay for the trip?

Yes, we draw up an invoice in the company’s name, including VAT, payable by bank transfer.

Do you offer carpooling between multiple travellers?

The vehicle is private. However, nothing stops you from sharing the ride, and therefore its cost, with colleagues or other stranded travellers: this is common on strike days.

Do you drive at night?

Yes, 24/7, including for 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. departures to the airports.
