Domaine de Bayeux  

In the centre of Bayeux, a historic guesthouse just a few minutes’ walk from the train station. Steps from the Museum of the Bayeux Tapestry and Cathédrale Notre-Dame, and close to the Baron Gérard Museum and the British War Cemetery. Less than three hours from Paris by train.

Housed in an 18th-century classical building set in a centenarian French-style park. Period woodwork, carved wooden fireplace and wooden floors give a warm, historic vibe. The 18th-century main house has eight individually styled rooms; the Orchard extension adds 11 design, air-conditioned rooms with private terraces or balconies. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, satellite channels, safes and hairdryers.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free on-site self-parking. Rent bicycles to explore town, relax in the garden or by the lobby’s majestic fireplace. Concierge and car-rental assistance available. Many rooms have private bathrooms with tubs or showers and terrace or balcony views over the park.

Complimentary wireless internet and daily housekeeping. Safe deposit box at the front desk and laundry facilities. Staff converse in English and French.

Fresh, local buffet breakfasts are served for a fee — a simple, regional start to the day before you head out to the tapestry or the cathedral.
