Ouistreham Attractions. At the end of a canal that links Caen to the sea, Ouistreham is an active seaside resort and a paradise for sports lovers, whether on the sea or land. There is also a Sea Water Therapy Centre and Casino. Take a stroll among 18th century fisherman’s houses nestling in narrow streets. As one would expect, Ouistreham has a good range of hotels, restaurants and bars. Visit the Church of Saint-Samson, built around 1150 and restored in the 19th century. Also the nearby Barn with Said (Tithe Barn), now fully restored - a barn was first documented in 1257. Ouistreham has two museums - the N°4 Commando Museum commemorating the liberation of Ouistreham on June 6, 1944 and the Museum of the Atlantic Wall, the original bunkered German headquarters, now with all rooms restored to their original functionality.
