Bayeux 2024
Bayeux is the home of the Bayeux Tapestry, which depicts the events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. It is also known as the first major town secured by the Allies during Operation Overlord after D-Day. Charles de Gaulle made two famous speeches in this town.
We visited Bayeux on Adventure 2024 during a trip to Paris, France.

Museum of Art and History Baron Gerard
Small on the front but lots to see. This was our first stop in Bayeux and my mind was already in WWII mode. The museum started around Viking times…I even […]
Bayeux Cathedral
How many places like this exist in France? In all of Europe? I know we will never see them all and I know lots are similar but each one is […]
Gare De Bayeux
For some reason, I could see soldiers using this back in WWII…
Maison Lemoisson
Nothing beats an afternoon snack!
