Notre-Dame Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Bayeux Cathedral was consecrated in 1077 by Bishop Odon de Conteville in the presence of his brother, William the Conqueror. It was to decorate the nave of the cathedral that Odo had the famous Bayeux Tapestry embroidered, which tells the story of the conquest of England in 1066 by William, Duke of Normandy.

Batteries des Longues

Highlight • Other

A once formidable German coastal battery. Despite the 600 tons of bombs dropped by 124 RAF aircraft on the night of 5/6 June, the four guns were still intact the next morning. At 5:37 am they opened fire. The French cruiser Georges-Leygues was the first to answer the German attack, followed by the Montcalm and the American battleship Arkansas. The battery was not finally silenced until 7 pm by two direct hits from the French cruiser Georges-Leygues. The battery, which stands on a picturesque cliff, had four 150mm guns with a range of 20 km. The observation and command post that stood 300m in front of the bunkers on the edge of the cliff was the scene of one of the most famous scenes from the movie The Longest Day.

Arromanches-les-Bains

Highlight • Settlement

The bay overlooking the village of Arromanches was chosen by the allies for the construction of the Mulberry port. Few places in Normandy allow you to see the scars of war so clearly. This prefabricated port allowed the Allies to be supplied in the days following the landing on June 6, 1944.

You can observe the ancient barges up close only at low tide. At high tide, take the opportunity to visit the pretty village and its museums.
