Bayeux
Bayeux has preserved the old historic centre with its medieval structure. Its exceptional architectural heritage emerged unscathed from the Allied bombing raids of 1944. The cathedral, which was consecrated in 1077, underwent all kinds of extensions and embellishments from the 13th to the 15th century.
You can't visit Bayeux without seeing the 'Bayeux Tapestry'. We both really enjoyed this and thought it was exceptionally well done and very informative. Did you know it is really an embroidery and that it was made in Kent? I won't go into the the history as there are plenty of websites that will regale you with all the information.
