In the heart of Normandy, 15 km from Le Clos de Balleroy campsite and close to the D-Day landing beaches, the town of Bayeux in the heart of the Normandy countryside is an ideal destination for a cultural holiday.
The small town of Bayeux, capital of the Bessin region, is a medieval city on the doorstep of the D-Day landing beaches. It's a must for history buffs keen to explore these landmark chapters.
But Bayeux is also home to the famous medieval tapestry embroidered in honour of William the Conqueror and listed in UNESCO's Memory of the World register. It's also the pleasure of strolling through its stone-paved lanes, its countryside of farms, manor houses and abbeys, its Notre Dame cathedral and its botanical gardens.
For sports enthusiasts, the coastline offers a wealth of opportunities, including water sports, sailing and hiking on the high, unspoilt cliffs.
