Luc sur Mer or Luc on the Sea is located less than 15 minutes away from Caen, academic capital of Region Basse Normandie. It is 10 min away from the Brittany-ferry line (Ouistreham (F)-Portsmouth (UK)). It offers 1,5 km (1 mile) of promenade along the seashore, and you can discover at low tide on the beach lot of rocks and small islands that walk-fishermen enjoy.
Hikers can also walk on countryside trails which surround the village territory (364 ha, 973 acres) and lead to the market garden (called “delles”).
All the year long tourists and local population (3063 residents called “les lutins” or “imps”) can enjoy the services and activities from the Casino, the Thalassotherapy (Seawater body care) Center, a camp-site **** rated, a yacht club, sport facilities and various entertainment. Locals animate or take part in the life of more than 30 associations.

There is also a splendid Town-Hall park, with bird cages and ponds. Youngest children will enjoy the playground located in that beautiful greenery place. They will discover the whale skeleton failed more than 1 century ago on the shore and all will visit the “whale house” museum.
Each year, in July and August, the Large Master of the “Order of the Knights of the Whale” establishes new “Knights” whose candidature was retained because of their attachment for Luc sur Mer and their involvement for the dynamism and the fame of this family seaside resort.

Luc sur Mer is ready to welcome you!

The Mayor,
Patrick LAURENT
