Travel Blogs from Bayeux, France
Cars and Witches Hats, D-Day Beaches
This is a top pick! An early start and it was time to start driving on the wrong side of the road. With the wrong side of the road came all the predicatble problems, widow wipers when you want indicators, reaching for the door when you want the gear stick and hitting ...
D-Day Beaches
This is a top pick! ... corner of the cemetery, people stopping, turning to the flag, and putting their hands over their hearts. In the middle of France. In our pictures, you'll notice smiles. But my smile belies the truth. In actuality, I was completely emotionally ...
Monet's Garden & World War 2 Beaches.
This is a top pick! Sunday is the craziest day to be on the road in France. We learnt this to our detriment recently, trying to sightsee amongst the teeming throngs of weekend French families. We set off first to see Monet's garden, not all that far from Paris and ...
Normandy
Made it after a long train ride to Bayeux, Normandy, France. The weather was unusually cool but a welcome break from the heat of the last few weeks. The town itself is lovely with lots of midevil architechture. Also went on a full day tour of the D-Day ...
Omelettes and the Bayeux Tapestry

D-day
... to have missed it by so little, but pleased with our great day of exploring Normandy, we headed for our B&B in Bayeux. Our B&B for tonight was another recommendation by Alistair Sawday on his website. The real selling point for us was ...
Normandy
... As I slept, the second leg of my journey was coming to an end. If Italy was a wild fanfare of color and movement, France was a measured waltz of elegant beauty. It is a country that I came to love not for the uniformed boulevards of Paris, but ...
A Taste of Normandy
... the same population as Bastogne, and has a very similar feel to the town. It took a while longer to get to Bayeux than I thought, mainly because I pulled a stupid and forgot to verify which station to leave from. I went first to Gare du ...
Normandy and Easter Sunday
... hotel. If we got there in time, we would check out what we could and then head to the D-Day beaches and the Bayeux Tapestry on Saturday. From previous calculations, we figured the drive to Mont St. Michel would take about 4 and a half ...
Bayeux: The epic midnight hike
I got off the train in good spirits and quickly found a sign pointing in the direction of "Operation Overlord: Landing Beaches". Well, the retard that installed these signs led me through a 2km stroll ending up where I began. After fuming for a minute, I ...
Welcome to Normandy
We arrived and found a hotel directly across from the train station which was only 30 euro. Sinceit was cheap and close, we decided to give it a go. The room was cheap because it was shabby; lino floors, scabby looking ...
Omaha-Utah-Sword-Juno-Gold
hey guys-- well, if everything in France is closed on Sundays, some places are not. Yesterday, we did manage to find a museum open; it was the Museum on the Battle of Normandy, which took place from June 6th - Middle of August, 1944. It was a really ...
D day tour
From Bayeux you can choose from a few tours.. ours was incredible (though the heat is getting to us!!) The tour took us to these 5 locations: 1) Arromanches: a museum right on Gold beach explains the assault and even more interestingly the engineering ...
Normandy
... cemetary was a haunting reminder of what happened on DDay. We rerouted our trip due to the world cup and we are now going through France and Spain; and then on to Italy; possibly the world cup if we get tickets; then to Greece and back up through ...
Bayeux, Normandy Region - Blue Sky and Baguettes
... lured into the first Starbucks we had seen since leaving Seattle. After that refreshing break we went on to Bayeux, a small town in Normandy region, on the coast of France. We chose this spot for a few reasons. The first is that we were interested in the ...

Today we went to the D-Day Beaches. First, we went to Arromanches and saw the museum dedicated to the sixth of June. Then, we went to Omaha Beach and the Americcan Cemetery. We watched the flag be lowered while "Taps" was played. We also visited Point du ...
En route to France

D-Day Beaches and Paratroopers
... had a full sized paratrooper glider and a C-47 transport plane. It was a good museum, but overall I liked the one in Bayeux better. Next, we drove towards Utah Beach. Along the way, a farmer had his herd of cows going right down the narrow ...
1066 Tapestry
This is a top pick! ... it you would find it hard to depicher the story and miss the little details which bought the tapestry to life. The town of Bayeux itself is gorgeous and miracouslouly escaped WWII bombing...even though it was only 10km inland from the D-Day ...
World Heritage in Northern France
... I just happened to be the lucky recipient. But, finally through border control and onto the train! Seriously I don't think France wanted me to leave. Arrival in London was smooth and easy, train station was a few minutes walk from my housing, ...
