Top 21 things to do and attractions in Bayeux

I found my visit to the Bayeux Tapestry Museum to be fascinating. The audio tour was engaging. The rest of the Museum is engaging, and visitors learn plenty of history. PLEASE NOTE: tickets can only be purchased at the door; no tickets are sold online. I visited in August, on a Saturday in the late afternoon, and I only had to wait around ten minutes.

Visiting the Bayeux Museum was an unforgettable experience. The tapestry itself is perhaps the most extraordinary exhibit we have ever seen. The audio guide was excellent and made the story come alive. We felt very lucky to visit on the second-to-last day before the tapestry closed for restoration until 2027.

Nice little museum in Bayeux housing the famous Bayeux tapestry depicting the story of the battle of Hastings 1066.. In fine embroidery detail... Surprisingly how long and how detailed it is.... and definitely worth seeing if in the area.. Entry fee of around €12.. Fyi.. the museum is closing September for refurbishment and the tapestry is coming to London to be displayed Yes worth a visit and certainly take time to explore the town

Great museum to visiting, however it's too crowded. Consider arriving as early as possible in the morning to avoid waiting for hours to enter. Although an audio guide is included, it can't be paused once activated, leading many visitors to rush through viewing a tapestry in about 20 minutes and then leave after. On the other hand, story and details deserve to remain in the main exposition for as long as you want and explore multiple times.

Very detailed audio guide with beautifully explained facts. Beautiful exhibition with ways of life from that times... a definitely worthy experience!

Big queues if you haven't already got a joint ticket from another of the town's museums. Amazing to see this wonderful art in person. Somewhat spoiled by the man videoing his way along (against the rules!) and the people holding up the line - they could really do with a staff member in the tapestry room to chaperone. Also there was the bonus exhibition of Pixi models, including their rendition of the tapestry. The museum is closed from 1st Sept 2025 for 2 years while a new display space is being built.

Surprisingly good for children. They get their own separate audio guide which keeps it moving, and keeps it interesting. We were out in 30 minutes. The tour could have been longer for adults certainly! The tapestry is incredible, precious, expressive and enlightening. UNESCO listed, as almost 1,000 years old.

A beautifully well kept cemetery which shows respect for the war dead. We visited the German and American war cemeteries which accounted for the fallen from the Normandy battles and this is very different. It is completely open, the cemetery has the graves of British, Canadian, French, Soviet, Italian and many German graves. It is well worth visiting to walk amongst the fallen.

One of the highlights of our trip around Normandy. We had visited the American cemetery earlier the same day, but for us, this one was even more emotional. Of course, it being commonwealth had a lot to do with that given where I am from, but I loved the way it was laid out, the flowers brightened it up and the care that was taken here was something else. Also loved seeing other nations represented other than the UK

Emotional and poignant experience for all my family (we have several WW2 veterans in our close family). I was most struck by the young age of many of the fallen, many the same age as my daughter who was by my side as we walked down the well flowered aisles. A far more touching and accessible tribute than the American Cemetery.

My visit to this cemetery in June 2024 during the 80 year remembrance of the D-Day Invasion of Normandy was a chilling and humbling experience. So many lives were shed and paid to bring about peace in the World. May we never have to go through a war like this again. And yet, at this moment the Ukraine is involved in a dragged out war with Russia. And already thousands of children, women & men were killed in Gaza in the war with Israel 😭😭😭 “From Wikipedia …The Bayeux War Cemetery is the largest Second World War cemetery of Commonwealth soldiers in France, located in Bayeux, Normandy.[1] The cemetery contains 4,648 burials, mostly from the Invasion of Normandy. Opposite this cemetery stands the Bayeux Memorial which commemorates more than 1,800 casualties of the Commonwealth forces who died in Normandy and have no known grave.[1][2]” wikipedia

A very moving but a beautiful & peaceful last resting place for those who lost their lives in the Battle for Normandy. I was in tears in front of my teenage son with the enormity of the loss of life and I find it hard for those buried whose name is not known. As I was walking through the cemetery, I noticed a grave with a distinctive surname which is in my family. Without initially realising it, I had discovered the grave of a previously unknown third cousin and it was afterwards when I researched F A Deeming that I realised that Frederick Alfred Deeming was a relation - He has now been added to my family tree so he will continue to be remembered. Free to visit.

Given that this and other sites are dedicated to those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that I and others can enjoy our lives. As I walk around, I stand in silence. I hope that they believe the sacrifice was not in vain. Given the young age of the soldiers, I know that I have led a full and happy life, all thanks to those who fought so that I did not have to. In sorrow, I look at those graves of the unknown soldiers with a lot of sadness that they are lost and known only to God.

Absolutely sobering experience. Almost 5000 graves of young people who died here in 1945, during the D Day landings and the push for the liberation of Europe. Immaculately kept by the war graves comission. Do consider donating.

Small but superb museum. Far away from the crowds with many interesting items both from germans and the allies. You can see rifles, pistols, uniforms, military viechles, bombs and watch a movie about WW2 in a movie vie hall. The most interesting thing for me was the small diorama that was built there. So if you are visiting Bayeux this museum is a must see.

If you want to know and focus on the D-Day invasion and then liberation of Normandy, this is a good museum for the chronological and factual accounting of both sides. Available in French and English, there is a good deal of written material to accompany some artifacts from small to large set pieces. A few are outside in the parking lot area. Free parking. EV charging station.

Wow, this place is amazing and haunting at the same time, unbelievable what these men did for our country. The place was immaculately looked after, so pristine. There is so much love from the French to the British all around this area. Makes me proud.

Very informative museum with loads of interesting displays just allow enough time to get round all the displays. The CWWG Commission Cemetery is very close by and within walking distance. Plenty of parking on site.

Very well-organized museum with detailed exhibits and original World War II artifacts. It clearly explains the context of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. An emotional and must-see visit if you're in the area.

If you like military history, this is a fabulous museum. It focuses on the landings in Normandy and stops at Falaise pocket. The uk occupied Bayeux so there is a strong Uk element to the story. The story and pictures are moving. The hardware interesting. The signs are detailed and you should allow 2 hrs if you like to read and study the info. The shop on exit is good.

Very interesting and comprehensive over view of the campaign. Some great exciting exhibits of uniform and equipment too.

Magnificent cathedral both inside and out. Has impressive stained glass windows and interesting crypt. My favourite installation is a board running round the outer part of the crypt (mimicking the Bayeux Tapestry) but simply recording history in plain words from Jesus to present day listing significant events, eras and every single Pope with the length of their term ..fascinating

Wonderful cathedral that’s worth a visit. You may even be lucky enough to hear the amazing pipe organ!! During the summer there’s a wonderful and dazzling light show, inspired by the lush, colourful world of Alain Thomas — a master of naïve-primitive painting. Well worth seeing. Selected nights from dusk to midnight.

This ancient church is so amazing. Bayeux is an amazing town and this church at its centerpiece was a marvelous surprise. There was a seasonal night market I found and shopped for some lovely trinkets and delicious local sausages. Then at around 10pm there was amazing light show on the surface of the church. Just an amazing place. I think my next trip to France will be strictly a stay in beautiful Bayeux.

Huge and amazing! Startling and so thankful that this beautiful 13th century architectural marvel survived all the Normandy battles of world war II. Free to enter. No good parking close by except on the street if you are lucky.

This is a beautiful cathedral located in the heart of charming Bayeux, France. Looks stunning on the outside, especially with the background being the countryside small town of Bayeux. You can enter the cathedral for free and tour the inside in under 1 hour. The inside architecture is stunning and beautiful!

Beautiful cathedral with amazing history. From the stained glass above to the floor below, the ancient art and craftsmanship on display is stunning. Make sure to see the free light show projected on the exterior evenings during the summer months.

A cathedral that befits the beautiful city of Bayeux. Great to visit at any time but the evening market and light show done every other day through August is well worth experiencing.

It represents the story of Bayeux from the beginning to nowadays. Re-innovated building, stylish synergy of old and contemporary. The collection of art is banal. However, the part of the local hand-made cobwebs is impressive. It's even possible to watch the process. People working there are really welcoming and smiling.

This is an outstanding museum that anyone interested in history will love. It is well organised chronologically and feels spacious. The highlights for me were the lace making, and the ceramics but there are some lovely paintings too.

Visited on a heritage weekend so was free to enter. This museum is a fantastic walk through the history of the region with one big draw back that many have pointed out in their reviews. The curation is terrible, in small black font and seemingly done from Google translate to English. With poor lighting in parts it's pretty much impossible to make out. Something is better than nothing, but it could be oh so much better. Its a great exhibit, great building, and one big letdown

Right in the centre of Bayeux, one street away from the tapestry museum, this museum has several sections from Roman antiquities, local history, and eighteenth-century paintings to a display of lace design, techniques and production. I was also impressed by a full courtroom and consultation backroom for the judges, as left behind by history. Nice museum shop.

Wonderful museum. The conversion of the palace has been done with great care and imagination. The old courtroom is fantastic and the exhibition of lace works is stunning.

Great little museum. Not too overwhelming. Logically and chronologically laid out in a beautiful building which adds to the experience. Lots of information in English and French. Good value if you get a combined museum ticket with the Bayeux Tapestry.

I had a wonderful time in this museum. The display of the art works and artifacts is very well done and integrated perfectly with the building. The collection is marvellous. I would definitely recommend it.

A must see

Underwhelming

(Translated by Google) What a great discovery (making a bracelet)!! A warm welcome, a smile, listening, skill, patience... (in short, a good moment of sharing), were all present in this legendary place. I would like to thank you once again. See you soon ladies. Valérie L. 🙏 (Original) Quelle belle découverte (réalisation d'un bracelet) !! Un bel accueil, le sourire, l'écoute, la compétence, la patience...(bref un bon moment de partage), étaient aux rendez-vous en ce lieu mythique. Je tenez à vous remercier une fois de plus. À bientôt Mesdames. Valérie L. 🙏

(Translated by Google) A stop is a must to simply admire this meticulous work and watch the lace being made, or even to treat yourself to a lovely souvenir of Bayeux. A true work of art 🤩 free admission. (Original) Un arrêt s'impose pour simplement admirer ce travail méticuleux et assister à la confection de dentelles, ou encore s'offrir un joli souvenir de Bayeux. Un vrai travail d'orfèvre 🤩 entrée libre et gratuite.

(Translated by Google) A temple of Dentelle lace, a shop, a workshop, a school, an exhibition Magnificent initiative to pass down a tradition and keep it alive. All the ladies who work here are great. Thank you (Original) Un tempio del pizzo Dentelle, un negozio, un laboratorio, una scuola, un'esposizione Magnifica iniziativa per tramandare una tradizione, e mantenerla viva. Bravissime tutte le signore che qui lavorano. Grazie

(Translated by Google) Structured like a shop on the street three steps from the cathedral. Inside, a young woman at work shows how lace is created, another lady explains in good English the history of this purely voluntary "conservatory" of Bayeux lace. Obviously the prices displayed for the small masterpieces are justified by the hours of work involved. Also on display are some great masterpieces that required a couple of thousand hours. Possible individual mini courses at a cost of 10 euros per hour. (Original) Strutturato come un negozio sulla strada a tre passi dalla cattedrale. All'interno una giovane al lavoro mostra come viene creato il pizzo, un'altra signora spiega in un buon inglese la storia di questo "conservatorio" del pizzo di Bayeux, di puro volontariato. Ovviamente i prezzi esposti dei piccoli capolavori sono giustificati dalle ore di lavoro impiegate. Sono inoltre esposti dei grandi capolavori che hanno richiesto un paio di migliaia di ore. Possibili mini corsi individuali al costo di 10 euro l'ora.

(Translated by Google) A very interesting studio where you can watch various lace makers at work and/or ask them about their crafts. (Original) Ein sehr sehenswertes Atelier, wo man verschiedene Klöpplerinnen beim Arbeiten zusehen kann und / oder sie auch zum Kunsthandwerk befragen.

One of the top 5 hotels I have visited. Definitely the best of this trip to France. I was expecting just another European tourist hotel with a great website. It’s better than it looks in the pics. The perfect little garden to relax in. The perfect rooms, each with their own personality. Exceptionally clean. The location in Bayeux can’t be beat. Finally, the staff was amazing the entire time, all the way down to Leah the cat who kept us company in the garden.

We stayed here at the end of August 2025 for one night. Perfectly located in Bayeux, this hotel was wonderful. It's a beautiful building, with a lovely garden and pool. Our room was very comfortable, with luxe linens and a really nice mattress. The staff was amazing! We had an issue with our rental car. We had to leave it overnight in another city and take the train to Bayeux. The staff had a taxi meet us at the train station. The next day, the owner made several phone calls to the rental company to try to help us resolve the issue. Our broken, inadequate French would have made it impossible if we tried to do that ourselves. Breakfast in the morning was delicious!! Why, oh why, did we only stay here one night?? We will be back.

We stayed here two nights in June as part of our Normandy trip that started in Honfleur and ended in St. Malo with a train to Paris. Bayeux is a wonderful town with much to offer and a great location to explore the nearby WWII sites. The hotel's location is perfect and close to everything you could possibly need and/or want to see. We were warmly greeted and were given an explanation of the property and how everything runs. Our room was cozy and wonderful with access to the outdoor seating area which we enjoyed sitting at before dinner. We did have issues with the towel warmer not working and the bathtub drain not staying down. However, I did not inform the hotel of these issues, so part of that is my fault. They cannot fix what they do not know about. There were also artificial fragrance pods (for lack of a better term) in both the toilet area and bathroom. I personally do not enjoy these and wished they were not present as they are not good for one's health. We enjoyed walking the emacculate grounds and the beautiful flowers and trees. We wish we would have had time to try the heated pool, but we were gone too long during the day touring. Breakfast was lovely and delicious though the croissants were just okay. I also really enjoyed the warm food options - who would have thought I would love green beans for breakfast! They were delicious. There is also a resident cat who we much enjoyed the company of. One suggestion that would really enhance this property (which is hard to do as it's so wonderful to begin with) - there is no available aperitif offered. Having an option of even just a red and white wine available to enjoy by the pool, the outdoor seating, or the indoor salon (if cold/rainy) would be perfect. While this would add a bit of extra work for the desk staff, it would be an exceptional addition and is really the only complaint I could give you. We found ourselves down the road the first night at a local bar for an Aperol spritz before dinner. The next night, we purchased a half bottle of rosé nearby and the hotel graciously provided us with a bucket of ice for it. We enjoyed it on the patio seating outside our room. We would have preferred to spend our money at the hotel rather than elsewhere but we made do the first evening and figured out a way to stay and enjoy the property the next evening. Thank you for such a lovely stay. We hope to return one day when our travels bring us back to the area. Merci!

I can’t speak more highly about this hotel. It’s in the perfect location, close to everything. The staff are all amazing (especially the owner who couldn’t be any nicer). Our included breakfast was yummy and super fresh. The grounds are beautiful and the history of the hotel makes you feel like you’re in someone’s fabulous guest villa. We got upgraded to a suite and it was very spacious. We needed help with our train tickets, directions, some mailing things - and they were very patient and kind to handle all of these. Stay there - you wonder regret it!

I’m not sure any of my photos capture what a delightful hotel this is! Bayeaux is a charming town and Hotel Tardif made our stay perfect. The gardens are magical, the service was excellent, the breakfasts were wonderful, and the cleanliness was impeccable. We spend our evenings in the yard listening the birds and chatting. Any time I feel stressed, I will close my eyes and picture myself back in that lovely yard. What a place. ❤️

This is a great Hotel, you will remember your stay there for a long time. Great staff, good location in the town. Many Cafe's nearby. Easy tour access to Normandy locations and Abby St. Michel.

This is a gem of a place, with lovely rooms and beautiful gardens and pool. It is in the heart of this charming old town that was spared by the bombs of WWII, so is great for walking everywhere. Service was exceptional. It is basically perfect.

Guillaume was a fantastic guide to the D-Day beaches. He was very knowledgeable and engaging for our whole family group of 10, tailored the tour to our interests, and spoke impeccable English. His in-depth knowledge allowed us to cover far more in our one day with him than would have been possible on our own. He provided a fantastic foundation for our further explorations on our own. I highly recommend his tour!

Engaging Guillaume was the best decision we made during our 3 generation tour of Europe. His expertise, warmth and efficiency added spectacularly to our trip. When asked what the highlight of the trip was, our kids and grandkids were unanimous in saying "The stories that Guillaume told at the beaches and the cemetery." I can't recommend him highly enough.

My husband, who served in the 82nd Airborne, had such a powerful and special experience in Normandy. Our guide, Raphaelle, was incredible—she’s not only knowledgeable but also has a real gift for connecting history to the people who lived it. She understood how important this trip was for my husband and made it unforgettable for him. We also had so much fun on a Jeep tour with Flavie, who showed us some amazing places we wouldn’t have found ourselves. If you’re planning a trip to Normandy, I can’t recommend this experience enough—it’s meaningful, personal, and something you’ll remember forever.

Guillaume (William) Was an exceptional guide! His military background and knowledge of WWII, French history and the region also were beyond most tour guides. He has a passion for the study of D Day and Normandy.

Amazing experience! Guillaume has such an incredible knowledge of DDay history. So many stories and information he shared that we would not have been able to find on our own or with a larger group tour. This is well worth it and I would highly recommend.

My husband and I spent an amazing day with Guillaume visiting the American historic sites. Guillaume’s knowledge, passion and ability to relay events is unsurpassed. Thank you Guillaume, your ability to bring historic events to life made our trip to Normandy.

My husband and I toured Normandy and the beaches, cemetery, etc. with Guillaume and it was the highlight of our trip to France. We spent the entire day on the tour but could have done it for tow more days. He is so knowledgeable, with wonderful insight and personal stories which made it a very moving experience. We want to take our family back and do it again.

Very interesting place if person is interested in a WW2 history. There are several bunkers with cannons that can shoot 20 km up in the sea. One of the bunkers is preserved as how it was blown. There were whole round path visiting several different kind of bunkers but it was so windy and cold even in August that we couldn't visit all of them. There is no tickets, no queues, so just go and see some WW2 history to remember the great horrors.

Very interesting. 4 gun placements with 3 guns still intact. Great all round views, perfect position, but quite windy today so it was cold. Information centre was closed between 1 and 2 but the toilets were open.

This review encompasses the various 5 installations at this wonderful site. Free admission as coastal entrance, the defence pods and guns are awesome and a testament to the strength of German engineering. A truly wonderful walk around, we also walked to Cap Manvieux along the headland and could see the remnants of the floating mulberry harbour at Arromanches-les-Bains. Easy parking, toilets and space visitor centre, dog friendly 🙂

We visited on a very windy day and got to experience typical northern European weather just like the gun crews would have done back in the 40's. Great place to visit as its free to look and go around the main attractions.

They appear quite sudden in the middle of a field, the bunkers of Longues-sur-Mer. You can see there’s been have fighting in the area. Some of the original 150mm guns are still there. You can go into the bunkers to have a look. A visit lasts about an hour. There is a visitor center but you don’t have to use that

This is the best preserved and most accessible gun battery in the day landing areas. See this, and it'll help get the feeling of others along these beaches which are barriered off

100% worth a visit, amazing to see what happened here. Well looked after and I couldn't believe how well preserved the guns are. Get there and have a look.

If you are in the area, we'll worth the visit. Ancient trees, beautiful flowers- a lovely little walk!

Absolutely beautiful botanical gardens. We spent a morning here in August, so nice for sitting in we walked to a nearby patisserie and grabbed picnic lunch. Kids enjoyed the small play park and adults loved the gardens. Definitely recommend a visit.

Very beautiful park. The park is clearly very well cared for. Only drawback was that the informative displays are danmaged and in readable.

Nice green space but mostly trees. Signs could do we renovating. But free!

Lovely garden with some benches and metal chairs for a picnic. Quite small and a bit of a walk from the centre.

Fabulous selection of Specimen of Trees … Topped by the 140 yr ole Weeping Beech Tree. A little out of town but worth the trip …!!

Dogs are not allowed in the park. Ignore all online info that says they are. We were led to believe dogs could enter by multiple websites that feature info about the park. But the signs at the gate say no dogs at all. So we wasted a trip there and had to go back home. :(

(Translated by Google) 5 out of 5: Great Very warm welcome. Very friendly staff. The reception hall pretty. :-) We did laser tag and paintball.

I felt Taxis are scammers!Taking advantages of having no competition! I’m so disappointed with everything in Bayeux, my whole experience made me hate Bayeux and the areas. 1) my esim (data) reception stopped working as soon as I stepped in Bayeux from train station 2) only 1 bus per day to Omaha beach (only in the afternoon, that didn’t work for me) 3) my 2nd option, I tried to book Uber(which I did internet research, said it works in Bayeux, turns out it didn’t work, no driver is accepting my request) 4) the staff lady said I could book taxi only by call, I didn’t have France number, she said she could book taxi for me but I had to pay 2€. She called with landline for few seconds, and gave me a piece of paper for the service, and I paid 2€ for that! And she said I can wait outside, would be there in 5 mins. ( she didn’t tell me the price and I didn’t ask either as I expected 30-38€ as Uber prices show as such). I felt no compassion nor empathy nor the slightest care how much I have to pay as a solo traveler from the staff. No explanation about fare OR a sedan unavailability if it’s relating with the price or whatsoever. 5) a black minivan with no taxi sign arrived, and I thought why it’s so big just for me! And to my surprise, he said it’s 45€. (I accepted reluctantly as I was already there after taking train from another place) he gave me a business card ‘Bayeux Taxis’ if I needed a ride again on the way back, told me to call him 30 mins advance and would pick me up with same price. And when I texted the number from WhatsApp, someone else replied and said 75€!! 45€ was already expensive and I was so shocked! He later said 65€ final price, when I told him what the other guy told me, he said “yes, that’s his price, my price is 65€, not less”, and when I asked about the first guy and his number, he said he is busy, he gave me another number, turned out it’s still not the first guy, this 3rd guy said 70€, and final 65€. The trip didn’t even last 30 minutes and 65€ was ridiculous. And how come the prices are different from one person to another if it’s an official taxi agency accepted by Bayeux tourist office? I’m so confused and disappointed, I felt like I was in a flea market. My advice: If you wanna visit D-day beaches, book tours well in advance OR rent a car.

Very helpful young lady, gave us loads of information about what to see and do. I know it was her job, but it didn't feel rushed, and she took time to answer our many questions.

Very friendly staff! Worth a quick visit if you're spending time in Bayeux.

Very nice lady willing to answer all questions and give instructions for things to visit in Normandy.

Extremely knowledgeable and helpful! We stopped in and told them what D Day sites we wanted us to see and they showed us on a map where to start to see all the sites in chronological order, what museums to be certain to visit as well as road side stops, etc. Thanks to the Bayeux Tourist office we had a complete tour of Normandy and historic DDay towns and sites with no tourguide required! Thank you for your outstanding service!

We were in a AirBNB in Bayeux in November and hadn’t planned a tour ahead of time (trying to be spontaneous). The nice lady there worked her tail off getting us a tour. She was not going to stop until she got us to The Beaches. This level of customer service is unparalleled!

Very helpful and spoke English ,

A place to contemplate the bravery and sacrifices made in 1944 Bayeux War Cemetery is the largest Commonwealth cemetery of the Second World War in France and contains burials brought in from the surrounding districts and from hospitals that were located nearby. BAYEUX WAR CEMETERY, which was completed in 1952, contains 4,144 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, 338 of them unidentified. There are also over 500 war graves of other nationalities, the majority German. The BAYEUX MEMORIAL stands opposite the cemetery and bears the names of more than 1,800 men of the Commonwealth land forces who died in the early stages of the campaign and have no known grave. They died during the landings in Normandy, during the intense fighting in Normandy itself, and during the advance to the River Seine in August.

Beautiful words run along the top of this memorial that translate as 'We, once conquered by William, have liberated the Conqueror's native land'. Free to visit.

Very interesting and well run museum. The kids (7,8,10) enjoyed the kids version of the audio narration. Well worth the stop. Excellent museum. English available for adults and children.

My second time visiting and I enjoyed it as much as the first time. The visit is quick due to the audio guides but well worth it. Dogs not allowed inside so we took in turns and waited in the courtyard with other fellow dog owners.

Beautiful, serene place. Only 1 member of the famed Lincoln and Welland Regiment is buried there. But about 2,000 others! Thank you 🇨🇦

Another memorial site we visited, this one being one of the main commonwealth memorial. There are many British servicemen buried here and all of the graves are immaculately kept by the war commission. This site brings the message home, you can't put this place into words, you just have to visit. Very poignant place which many people visit. The parking near by is free and you can spend a good hour, even a coupe like we did to take this place in. Just go and you will understand what I'm trying to say about this place, please do!

Well kept cemetery

Beautiful cathedral that you are free to tour. Regardless of you religious belief or lack of you will be able to find a quiet spot to reflect as I did. The cathedral has been built and rebuilt throughout the years with the crypt being from the 11th century. Take your time here. Sit, enjoy the art, and the people milling about as you embrace so many centuries of history and hope.

Simply you have too see it! Its wonderful and peaceful.

Records show that the first foundation of this church took place in the 5th century, in the 12th century it was certified as the first Romanesque Church that had a cemetery with trees, according to the Abbot of Savigny. This church is highly sought after by lovers of classical music and choral components, as its acoustics are excellent. It is worth visiting this beautiful work!

Laugh out loud funny - if you are a GoT fan.

Amazing work. Attention to detail- it really brought back all the memories. Game Of Thrones will always be part of us no matter where you may be. Still the best series of all time.

We took a school group here (13 and 14 year olds) and the guide kindly recounted the history of chocolate in simple French with actions and some English translations so that they could improve their language skills. Very professional and interesting. You get a chance to buy presents from the shop, which sells their own premium chocolate, which ranges from chocolate lollipops for a couple of euros to very expensive boxes. Recommended.

While the website seemed pretty promising, the overall tour was very disappointing. In the beginning, we got dropped in some room with a video playing that looked a couple hundred years old. It was very boring and played for more then half an hour, the majority if the tour. The rest consisted of long texts about the history of chocolate and badly dressed plastic dolls. The service was awesome and everyone was very sweet though, the price of the chocolate is very reasonable and we even got a few free chocolates! It's fun for a class trip, not a vacation. They're very sanitary and touch everything with gloves, and everyone is very passionate about their job. There is a fun interactive game about smelling, some more interactives around the tour would make it a lot more interesting. I liked going, but i wouldn't recommend it.

(Translated by Google) A superb discovery! The chocolate shop offers truly delicious products, with a wide variety of refined and gourmet chocolates. In addition, the museum is a very nice surprise: the price is very affordable and the exhibition is comprehensive enough to trace the entire history of chocolate, from its origins to its current production. It is both informative and enjoyable, perfect for young and old alike. A visit that I highly recommend! (Original) Une superbe découverte ! La chocolaterie propose des produits vraiment délicieux, avec une grande variété de chocolats raffinés et gourmands. En plus, le musée est une très belle surprise : le prix est très abordable et l’exposition est assez complète pour retracer toute l’histoire du chocolat, de ses origines jusqu’à sa fabrication actuelle. C’est à la fois instructif et agréable, parfait pour les petits comme pour les grands. Une visite que je recommande vivement !

(Translated by Google) While passing through the area, we stopped by the museum. The museum is very well laid out and inexpensive for the information it provides!

(Translated by Google) Afternoon chocolate workshop with Mr. Potato Head and guided tour of the museum.

A peaceful and poignant experience (as long as there aren't too many visitors at the same time. Drive past the abbey on the Rue d'Ardennes, look for the three black noticeboards on the wall by the pedestrian gate - that's the entrance to the garden. It's not in the abbey itself. Twenty metres further on is the large car park. Park up and walk back.

Small memorial, but powerful illustration of the hellish nature of war. Definitely recommend it for Canadians.

A mournful and somber visit. We will remember them.

Having returned to this memorial I have to say I am disappointed. The recent works are a great disappointment. To say the quality of the work is third rate is a huge understatement, it's appalling. It is disrespectful to the men who died and this needs to be addressed immediately as a simple matter of respect to those who died, the regiments they belong to and their families.

A very beautiful resting place for those who lost their lives. The church has incredible history going back to the 12th century, would definitely recommend this place!

Difficult to find but worthwhile. Went in late October and weather cold. The lane up which the location lies was in regular use by tractors and agricultural vehicles getting the harvest in. Peaceful location slightly marred by encroachment by a rather ugly housing estate. The Abbey itself did not seem to be open (at any rate, coming here as part of a group, we did not go in) but we saw the external memorials and visited the garden of remembrance to side of the building. The memorials don't agree on the number of Canadian POWs shot here by the "Hitler Jugend" SS regiment, but the total was 27 in the course of a few days. A little piece of the brutality of the Eastern Front brought to the West by fanatical, brain washed Nazis just out of childhood. Their commander was court martial led, found guilty, sentenced to death but the sentence was not inflicted, and he was released in 1954. A note of warning: if you are driving a minibus/can the road gets narrow and the parking provision is off road. However, when we went there, there was a height limit on the entrance so we had to turn vehicles around, which was a dicey prospect because of large boulders strategically placed by road, presumably to stop encroachment.

Awful history but a must see if you are touring the area.

Hidden gem in Bayeaux just off the beaten track. Surprisingly pleasant nature park with an easy circuit starting just off the main road. Very peaceful, trails around the park are super easy to follow and quite a variety of birdlife. Was lucky enough to spot Kingfishers, spotted flycatchers and chiffchaffs amongst others.

👍🏾

Wonderful, clean, tidy, worth a visit.

(Translated by Google) Really nice park for walking around, quite large, well the ideal is to follow the construction site rather than going into the grass, as it's quite high grass, on a nice day, it's the 'ideal. (Original) Parc vraiment sympas pour se balader assez grand, bon l'idéal c'est de suivre le chantier plutôt que d'aller dans l'herbe, comme c'est des herbe assez haute, par des jour de beau temps, c'est l'idéal.

(Translated by Google) Near Bayeux, very pleasant for walking and running. All of nature is there to give us the gift of its beauty. In any season, enjoy the calm, the fauna and the flora. Small footbridges so as not to disturb nature are a good idea. I advise you to take walking shoes in order to take the small paths and better enjoy this setting. If you like watching rabbits and hearing frogs croaking, you will be delighted. Leave your dog on a leash so as not to disturb this calm. I highly recommend. (Original) En limitede Bayeux, très appréciable pour se promener et courir. Toute la nature est là pour nous faire le don de sa beauté. En toute saison, profitez du calme, de la faune et de la flore. Des petites passerelles pour ne pas déranger la nature est une bonne idée. Je vous conseille de prendre des chaussures de marche afin de prendre les petits sentiers et mieux profiter de ce cadre. Si vous aimer observer des lapins et entendre des grenouilles croasser, vous serez comblés. Laisser votre chien en laisse afin de ne pas troubler ce calme. Je conseille vivement.

Quasiment seuls au calme en harmonie avec la nature. De plus mes enfants ont adoré l’application GPS avec les jeux tout au long, qui est d’ailleurs très instructive. Super!

(Translated by Google) The park is always well maintained, during our visit, the drought got the better of the water points, but even in these conditions, the walk was refreshing... we did not see dragonflies, but a frog, a few butterflies and above all a view of Bayeux and its cathedral. (Original) Le parc est toujours bien entretenu, lors de notre visite, la sécheresse à eu raison des points d'eau, mais même dans ces conditions, la balade fut rafraichissante... nous n'avons pas vu les libellules, mais une grenouille, quelques papillons et surtout une vue sur Bayeux et sa cathédrale.

I had an enjoyable moment visiting this lovely garden in the old town of Bayeux. There are various types of flowers and plants with benches. I was truly inspired by the beautiful messages on wall:- May this spot be in the image of you: A place of remembrance where young people can meet, a place where the passer-by can rest, a place where one can spend a moment listening to nature. And for all, a moment of peace and serenity where we may sometimes even hear your laugh, “bursting with joy”, telling us that in spite of everything, Life goes on …

Very cute little park, too bad there's background noise coming from the nearby hospital.

Beautiful flowers
