What to do and see in Bayeux, Normandy: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

March 4, 2022 Nicolette Lion

The northern French town of Bayeux is best known for the eponymous tapestry that depicts the 11th-century Norman Conquest. You can see it, of course, on display at the Bayeux Tapestry Museum. The cloth’s original home was the Bayeux Cathedral, which still towers over the area, looking a bit like a Gothic wedding cake. Inside you’ll find beautifully detailed murals and haunting crypts. Bayeux makes an excellent jumping off point to tour nearby historic WWII sites.

This is an absolute must-do when visiting Bayeux. It is right on the way to/from the war cemetery. I spent a good 30 minutes trudging through the muddy walkway on a soaking wet winter afternoon, reflecting. "If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter". God speed to the souls of all these heroic women and men who died to bring us the truth. "Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freedom of speech". Lest we forget.

Hearing the story of the 18 Canadians murdered by the Nazis after being taken prisoner was heartbreaking. I can't imagine how frightened they must have been. People can be so cruel. Worth a visit, particularly for Canadians.
