Where we deliver in Caen
- Parc des Expositions de Caen
- On Rue Joseph-Philippon, three large halls and extensive outdoor space: the hall and stand numbers determine access, and the delivery slot comes from the organiser.
- Centre de Congrès de Caen
- On Avenue Albert-Sorel, a short walk from the historic centre: ask the organiser to confirm the service entrance and delivery time ahead of the date.
- Mémorial de Caen
- In the north-west of the city, on Esplanade Général-Eisenhower: the site stays open to visitors and has its own restaurants, so check with the organiser the rules for outside caterers and the service access.
We also deliver to offices and unusual venues across the city, in particular Epopea Park, Effiscience, Citis, Presqu'île de Caen.
The local constraint that changes the plan
Central Caen, around Rue Saint-Pierre and Rue Écuyère, is a pedestrian zone: delivery vehicles under 3.5 tonnes may not enter between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. or on Saturdays, and heavier ones only in the morning. For a reception there, give us the exact address and the nearest open street, from which the last stretch can be done on foot.

The big dates in Caen
- Foire Internationale de Caen · every September
- The fair gathers regional and international exhibitors around a guest destination: a stand hosting clients or partners must time its deliveries around the show's opening and set-up hours.
- CIC Normandy Channel Race · every year, from mid-May to early June
- The race village sets up in the city centre on Quai Vendeuvre: partners and companies host clients and staff there around the start and the boats' return, within the framework set by the organisers.
- Festival Beauregard · every year in early July
- The festival takes place in the grounds of the Château de Beauregard in Hérouville-Saint-Clair: to invite clients or teams, plan the reception separately, as the site applies its own rules to outside providers.
How a delivery outside Île-de-France works
Everything is composed in Île-de-France and carried in a refrigerated vehicle, with an unbroken cold chain from loading to hand-over. The logistics line covers the real round trip, 460 km, and appears as its own line on the quote.
For a large event, allow 48 hours between the order and the delivery; for a smaller order, 5 days. Payment is received before the service, as everywhere else: nothing is produced before the funds are in.
