Bayeux, Normandy

Bayeux is a commune in the Calvados department in Normandy in northwestern France.
The town can trace its roots back to the 1st century BC. From the Viking raids of the 9th century, to the Hundred Years’ War.
Bayeux retains beautifully preserved timer-framed houses, mansions flanked with towers, vast town houses and elegant private residences.

The center piece of the community is without-a-doubt the magnificent Cathedral Notre-Dame de Bayeux. Bishop Odo of Conteville consecrated this Norman-Romanesque-Gothic shrine in July of 1077.

The trail along the River Aure offers pedestrians and cyclists a relaxing pause and the opportunity to get a closer look at old restored mills and wash houses.
A chance also to admire from another angle Bayeux’s rich heritage including the cathedral.

Bayeux is home to the largest British military cemetery in France. Some 4 000 British soldiers who fell during the Second World War rest there, beside soldiers of many other nationalities.

La première ville libérée lors de l'invasion du jour J promet de vous laisser le sentiment à la paix dans ce lieu de mille ans vieux.
