We will be arriving in Le Havre 29 March and need transportation to Caen. What is the best way or only way to go? We hear transportation is difficult on Sundays

This is the official train web site that is in French. If you don't read French, I suspect you can figure it out anyway. All ticket sites tend to be similar. There is an English site but it seems to be down today. You can click on the small British flag and see if it works but it might be easier to just use the above web site.
Trains leave Le Havre at 11:03, 14:03 and 16:03.
The trip to Caen takes between 2.5 and 3.5 hours depending on which train you take. The reason is takes so long is the train connects in Rouen which is out of the way. On the bright side, you get to see more of the French countryside. 8^)
I think the price was around 61 euros. You can pick up your ticket at the station but be sure you use the same credit card you used for purchase. It's just as easy to purchase the tickets when you arrive and you don't have to worry about which card you used. Good luck.
