Bayeux

Discovering Bayeux

Bayeux, a medieval town rich in history, is home to iconic monuments such as the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral and the famous Bayeux Tapestry, listed in UNESCO’s “Memory of the World” register. Spared the destruction of the Second World War, Bayeux offers a unique glimpse of the Duchy of Normandy, with its narrow streets and 17th- and 18th-century townhouses. The town also serves as a gateway to the Normandy landing sites, enriching its tourism offering with guided tours and cultural events.
