Around the hotel, Our news & discovery
You have chosen a stay in Bayeux in Normandy… Perfect! In the heart of the historic center of the city, you penetrate the History of France, from the Middle Ages to the modern era, from Queen Mathilde to the Landing.
But none of the tumult of the major events that the region has experienced will disturb the serene calm of our charming hotel, nestled in Old Bayeux, a jewel of medieval architecture.
Nothing will disturb your leisurely strolls, and you'll quickly discover that everything that could satisfy your curiosity is just steps from the hotel, and that everything else is easily accessible: Bayeux literally beckons you with its streets.
Let yourself be surprised, for the city holds many lesser-known but equally delightful attractions: the Bayeux salmon fish market, the Drakkar chocolate factory, or the lace museum.
The Tapestry of Queen Matilda, which the whole world celebrates and comes to contemplate; the numerous heritage buildings of the Church: Bayeux has everything of a capital… which it was indeed in the time of Gaul and, temporarily, in 1944.
Further afield, Caen, the D-Day Landing Beaches, and Mont Saint-Michel will exert their powerful attraction (shuttle service available by reservation for Mont Saint-Michel and the D-Day Landing Beaches). Cabourg, Deauville, Trouville, Honfleur… the Côte Fleurie and all its charms are also within easy reach. Picturesque, romantic, or sporty Normandy, with its natural side, offers an idyllic setting for your stay, revealing itself as welcoming and seductive, simple and discreet despite its worldwide reputation.
