Itinerary

Stop 1

10 min

The route leads through medieval lanes to Notre-Dame de Bayeux, the Norman-Gothic cathedral where the famous Bayeux Tapestry once hung. A story and puzzle reveal its 900-year history.
Musee Baron Gerard

10 min

The MAHB (Musee d'Art et d'Histoire Baron Gerard), housed in the former bishop's palace next to the cathedral. The puzzle is solved outside; entry is optional and not included.
Bayeux War Cemetery

10 min

The route ends near the Bayeux War Cemetery and Memorial, the largest Commonwealth cemetery of the Normandy campaign — a quiet, moving close to the walk, next to the Museum of the Battle of Normandy.

Meeting point and pickup

Everyone meets at the meeting point.

Meeting point

Your starting point is the Parc de la Vallee de l'Aure, the riverside park at the foot of the old town — about a 5-minute walk from the Bayeux tourist office. This is self-guided: no guide meets you. Just start at the park and follow the route on your own phone.

End point

The route finishes at the Museum of the Battle of Normandy on Boulevard Fabian Ware. From here it is about a 10-minute walk back to the cathedral and the old town.
