Bayeux

The Bayeux Tapestry is a 70-meter-long embroidered cloth that tells the story of the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England in 1066. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a significant example of medieval art.

Bayeux is easily accessible by train from Paris, with the journey taking approximately three hours. You can also reach Bayeux by bus from Caen and other regional towns. Driving is also an option, with good road connections to the area.

Besides the Bayeux Tapestry, visit the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Bayeux, the Musée Mémorial de la Bataille de Normandie, and the Bayeux War Cemetery. Explore the charming town center, enjoy local cuisine, and consider day trips to the D-Day landing beaches.
