Vieux Bayeux

Having been completely spared in 1944, the old town of Bayeux and its conservation area offer a remarkable architectural ensemble. Around the cathedral and the bishop’s palace, or along the river that feeds the town, 2,000 years of history unfold amongst half-timbered houses, manor houses with towers and stately homes.
