What to expect

The Tapisserie de Bayeux, also known as the Bayeux Tapestry, is a 70-meter-long embroidered cloth that depicts the events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. It is a masterpiece of Romanesque art and a unique document on European life in the Middle Ages. The tapestry is housed in the Bayeux Museum and offers an audio-guided tour. Visitors can explore the tapestry and learn about its history and significance. The nearby cathedral and old town are also worth visiting, with their historic buildings, shops, and restaurants. The town has a rich history, and its war museum and British cemetery are a reminder of the sacrifices made during World War II
