A small old town worth seeing, which was the first to be liberated without destruction in the Second World War. It still has a lot of old historical buildings with lots of half-timbering and the Norman cathedral.

Bayeux is a charming city in the Normandy region. It is located on the Aure River, about 20 km northwest of Caen. Bayeux is best known for the Bayeux Tapestry, an impressive medieval embroidery depicting the Norman invasion of England in 1066.
The city has a rich history dating back to Gallo-Roman times. Bayeux was an important city in the Roman Empire and later became a bishopric in the 4th century. The city also has many historic buildings and monuments, including Bayeux Cathedral, a beautiful example of Gothic architecture.
