Bayeux Walking Tour
Bayeux, France
Why Walk Bayeux
Bayeux escaped WWII bombing almost entirely, leaving its medieval center remarkably intact. The town is home to the Bayeux Tapestry — a 70-meter embroidered cloth from the 11th century depicting William the Conqueror's invasion of England. It also serves as the gateway to the D-Day beaches, just minutes away.
