BAYEUX (ANGL)

This book is an invitation to a marvellous tour of the rich architecture and artistic treasures of Bayeux, the Norman city miraculously spared by the Battle of Normandy.
Having wondered at the Gothic cathedral which has retained many aspects of the original Romanesque building, in particular its crypt, visitors discover Gallo-Roman remains, half-timbered houses dating from the Middle Ages. Renaissance tower houses and 17th century mansions all while wandering picturesque-named streets. Their steps will also take them to the Guillaume-le-Conquérant Centre which houses the Bayeux Tapestry and to the British cemetery and museums such as the Memorial Museum of De Gaulle who gave his first speech on returning to French soil in Bayeux in June 1944, the Baron-Gérard Museum and the Battle of Normandy Memorial Museum.
