Normandy
Bayeux
Bayeux is internationally associated with two invasions separated by nearly nine centuries: the Norman Conquest of England and the Allied campaign of 1944. Yet the town also preserves cathedral life, local art, gardens and journalism memory. This guide keeps 1066 and D-Day in dialogue without allowing either to consume the whole place.
