Mémorial des Reporters de Bayeux, Journalists' memorial in Bayeux, France

The Mémorial des Reporters de Bayeux is a landscaped walkway on Boulevard Fabian Ware, beside the British military cemetery, lined with pale beige stone monoliths. Names are engraved by year of death; the nearest stone lists Luciano, Kim Heang and Maria Lopez, and a stone behind bears 1977. It was designed by landscape architect Samuel Craquelin and inaugurated on 7 October 2006 with nearly 2,000 names.

The memorial was inaugurated in 2006 following discussions that began during Bayeux-Calvados Prize events marking the 50th anniversary of D-Day. It was created to honor the ongoing risks that journalists face while reporting from conflict zones and dangerous regions.

New steles are inaugurated each October during the Prix Bayeux-Calvados des correspondants de guerre, the event that gave rise to the memorial. The 2013-2014 stele was unveiled in the presence of James Foley's parents, and the 2014-2015 stele with members of Charlie Hebdo, including the cartoonist Riss. Names are engraved by year of death.

The memorial runs along Boulevard Fabian Ware, immediately beside the British military cemetery. Visitors follow a landscaped walk past the white steles, which are engraved by year, so the most recent names stand at the end of the line. New steles are inaugurated each October during the Bayeux-Calvados Prize, and a monument for reporters whose bodies were never found stands at the entrance.

Among the engraved names are renowned photographer Robert Capa and journalist Marie Colvin, as well as victims of the Charlie Hebdo attacks. These additions show that risks for journalists continue across decades and in different contexts.
