Bayeux

Bayeux is like an open book on which the turbulent history of Normandy is recorded. The story stretches between two important events in the history of Western Europe: the conquest of England by William in the 11th century and the Invasion of Normandy in 1944. The first is reminiscent of an amazing tapestry. At two a war cemetery, museum, nearby D-Day beaches. No ruins, no damage. Bayeux survived the turmoil of World War II almost intact , though it was at the heart of its recent events. Thanks to this, you can see the well-preserved medieval old town, a stunning Gothic cathedral, and buildings from the 18th century.
