Major episcopal see of Normandy, Bayeux owns two historical pieces of art : the Notre-Dame cathedral and the Tapestry attributed to queen Maud, wife of William the Conqueror. Built between the XIth and XVth century, the cathedral shows the transition from romanesque to gothic style. Inside, you will admire a collection of stained glasses evoking the saga of William, duke of Normandy, crowned king of England on Christmas Day 1066, after the Battle of Hastings. More episodes of the conquest of England are told by the magnificent Tapestry, manually embroidered on linen in the XIth century, nowadays exposed at the William the Conqueror Cultural Centre. The tour can be completed by a stroll through the charming little city, rich of canals and medieval public laundries.
Lunch at leisure upon your guide's suggestions
Omaha Beach and American cemetery
The Normandy American Cemetery, which was inaugurated in 1956, lies at the heart of a vast seventy-hectare site granted to the United States by the French Government.
Overlooking Omaha Beach, it contains 9,386 white marble crosses or stars of David arranged in impeccable rows. A father and son lie side by side, as do some thirty-three pairs of brothers. 307 headstones simply bear the words "Known but to God".
The graves belong not only to the soldiers who fell on Omaha Beach on June 6th 1944, but also to service personnel who were killed elsewhere in Normandy and were initially buried in temporary cemeteries such as the one at Sainte-Mère-Eglise. Several years after the war, their bodies were exhumed and transferred to the symbolic site of Omaha.
