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 strolls and you will quickly discover that everything that can satisfy your curiosity is just a stone's throw from the hotel, and that the rest is easily accessible: Bayeux literally opens its streets to you. Let yourself be surprised because the city conceals many lesser-known, but equally appreciated, curiosities: The Bayeux salmon maker, the Drakkar chocolate factory and even the lace conservatory.
The Queen Mathilde Tapestry, which the whole world celebrates and comes to contemplate; the numerous buildings of the Church's heritage: Bayeux has everything of a capital... which it was in the time of Gaul and, provisionally, in 1944.
Further on, Caen, the Landing Beaches, Mont Saint-Michel, will exert their power of attraction on you (shuttle on reservation for Mont-Saint-Michel and the Landing Beaches). Cabourg, Deauville, Trouville, Honfleur… the Côte Fleurie and all its amenities are also within your reach. Picturesque, romantic or sporty Normandy on the natural side, an idyllic setting for your stay, reveals itself to be welcoming and attractive, simple and discreet despite its worldwide reputation.

The landing beaches
