Located in the department of Calvados, Bayeux was one of the most important places of French religious life during the Middle Ages, as the particularly high number of churches testifies today. Like all of Normandy, the city began to attract Parisians on holiday from the arrival of the railway in the second half of the nineteenth century.

With an Intercité, two hours are enough for a Paris-Bayeux journey from Saint-Lazare station, using the Paris - Cherbourg line. By car, it takes about two and a half hours to get there by taking the A13.

You will immediately be seduced by the beauty of the local heritage. Inaugurated in 1077 by William the Conqueror himself, Bayeux Cathedral is one of the most beautiful in western France. The medieval and Renaissance town houses and the Norman half-timbered houses also contribute to the charm of the city.

A few minutes by car from Bayeux were enough to find themselves on the beaches where, in June 1944, Allied troops stepped ashore to free France from Nazi domination. Take advantage of your stay in Bayeux to visit Omaha Beach, certainly the most famous beach of the D-Day landing, Utah Beach or Juno Beach.

This vast embroidery, preserved and exhibited in the William the Conqueror Centre, traces the history of the conquest of England in the eleventh century. More than 70 metres long, it is one of the best preserved examples of profane art in Romanesque times.

This small museum has exciting collections of paintings, including paintings by Gustave Caillebotte, Eugène Boudin and Jacques-Louis David.

In addition to cider and calvados, a stay in Bayeux is an opportunity to enjoy all kinds of delicacies such as pancakes, Norman apple cakes and Bayeux chocolates.
