Bayeux gites

Well known for its 70-metre long tapestry, Bayeux has a fascinating medieval history, which can be viewed as you stroll around the old town that runs along the Aure. The Museum of the Bayeux Tapestry and the Lace Conservatory is a must-see. Other hidden gems include the lesser known Jardin Botanique de Bayeux, which is a six-acre botanical garden just outside the city. Or Vendeuvre Castle, which houses a museum with a curious collection of miniature furniture. At Falaise, where William the Conqueror was born, the imposing castle dominates the skyline. Around Bayeux itself there are many forest and open fields perfect for those who like to hike. The Canon Park and Castle gardens are a delight, with waterfalls and statues among the blossoming trees and flowers.
