Bayeux Essentials Walking City Tour

Discover the highlights of Bayeux on this 2-hour guided walking tour through one of the most charming and best-preserved towns in Normandy.

Your private guide will meet you in the heart of the town for an immersion into more than a thousand years of history. Bayeux is famous for having survived the major conflicts of history almost untouched, making it today a true open-air history book.

The tour begins with the discovery of the magnificent Bayeux Cathedral, a masterpiece of Norman architecture consecrated in 1077 in the presence of William the Conqueror. Your guide will explain its role in the history of Normandy as well as the fascinating details of its architecture.

You will then continue your walk through the town’s medieval streets, lined with half-timbered houses, lively small squares, and traditional shops. As you stroll along the cobbled lanes, your guide will share stories about life in Bayeux during the Middle Ages and the importance of the town within the Duchy of Normandy.

You will also discover the Aure River, where old mills and houses suspended above the water create one of the town’s most iconic views. You will explore neighborhoods that reflect Bayeux’s former artisanal and commercial activity.

During the visit, your guide will also recount the story of the famous Bayeux Tapestry and its connection to the cathedral and the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.

This 2-hour walk is the perfect way to get oriented in the town, discover its main landmarks, and understand the fascinating history of Bayeux in a friendly and accessible atmosphere.
