Discover Bayeux

Renowned across the globe for its exceptional heritage, and the role it played in the most noteworthy pages of European history, the town of Bayeux is not only one of the oldest Norman cities but is, above all, one of the most remarkably preserved. Around its cathedral and many museums, the town's protected historic centre is of truly intimate charm, embracing an atmosphere that was dear to both Balzac and Théophile Gautier. The town's personality has blossomed throughout its rich and eventful history, but is also the fruit of the cherished relationship it has nurtured over the centuries with the Bessin region of which it is the capital.
