Bayeux, Medieval town in Normandy, France
The Notre-Dame cathedral rises above the old town streets with its Gothic architecture and 11th-century crypt housing ancient wall paintings.
Bayeux, the first French town liberated after D-Day in 1944, became the initial location where General Charles de Gaulle returned to French soil.
The 70-meter-long Bayeux Tapestry, displayed in a dedicated museum, narrates through intricate embroidery the Norman conquest of England in 1066.
The tourist office near the cathedral provides maps, accommodation information, and guided tours of the medieval center in multiple languages.
The Baron Gerard Museum, located in the former episcopal palace, exhibits collections ranging from archaeological findings to lace-making traditions.
