The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Albert 1er parking in Caen is a large, free space located 15 minutes on foot from the city center. Close to an Intermarché supermarket, a laundromat, and a bus stop. The atmosphere is quiet during the week but noisy on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings due to a local market. Part of the area is occupied by construction, reducing available spots. Suitable for vans and small campervans (up to 7 m), but not welcoming for longer vehicles.
