Bayeux is a major tourist attraction because of its importance in two military campaigns, the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and its proximity to the D-Day landing beaches. It is a picturesque community that draws historians, tourists and World War II veterans from all over the world and it a good base to explore Normandy.
The three major attractions in Bayeux are the D-Day beaches, the Bayeux Cathedral, and the world-famous Bayeux Tapestry, that commemorates William the Conqueror and the Battle of Hastings. The large Norman-Romanesque and Gothic Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Bayeux was consecrated in 1077 and was the original home of the tapestry. Today, it is displayed in a museum in the town center.
Come explore Normandy from Bayeux and experience the history that is part of the city’s and region’s cultural fabric. Stay in one of these top Airbnbs in Bayeux, France, for a perfect vacation.
