What you can expect

  • Starting at the Bayeux Tourist Office, this small-sized group tour is meant to show you in two hours the many highlights of Bayeux. Its itinerary is ideally designed to stop in front of very different heritage buildings that enable your guide to comment on their architecture but also to bring to life old trades and traditions.
    “The ladies in a green hat”, as they are known, are specialists in this exceptional medieval town of Bayeux, located only a few kilometres from the D-Day landing beaches. Passionate and fun, they have been running their city tours since 2014. They enjoy interacting with their visitors and ensure that these two hours are packed with anecdotes. A binder of old photos helps visualize the way people used to live and how Bayeux used to look. Never a dull moment and the ideal way to discover Bayeux and all its animations of the moment, with a local expert guide. This visit helps you find out what else is relevant to do in Bayeux. Enjoy your tour!
