Old railway line and the station hotel

On Avenue de la Libération, the railway line from Caen to the sea, from Caen Saint-Martin to Courseulles, used to extend. Langrune station was opened in 1876. From 1900 onwards, it was equipped with a third rail for the narrow gauge railway that came from Caen via Ouistreham and joined the normal gauge line from Luc in the direction of Courseulles, then Bayeux.

The line was closed in 1950, competing with automotive development. The station hotel, for its part, continued to exist until the 1990s.

Voie Romaine

In the 1st and 2nd centuries, the region was heavily populated and exploited. Two Roman roads were therefore built. The one passing through Langrune followed the coast and had a military vocation. Traces of Roman camps at Saint-Aubin have also been found on the Cap Romain site. The section of the Roman road that crosses the municipality corresponds to a section of the route of the ridge road, about one kilometre from the coast. It reached Bayeux-Lillebonne and was one of the most important roads in the region for crossing the Orne at Benouville.
