Our family absolutely loved our 2 hour walking tour of Bayeux with Marie! Marie was so knowledgeable and we learned so much about this fantastic little town. We toured Bayeux's seriously impressive church, learned about the town's history (dating back to the Romans), saw it's century-spanning architecture (and how the town works to preserve it), and learned all about the impressive Bayeux Tapestry before visiting it. For a short 2 hour tour, Marie gave us a wealth of information and we highly recommend her!

Marie was absolutely wonderful! She provided an amazing purview of the town of Bayeux, the cathedral and took us to see the 1000 year old tapestry! We could not have been more pleased!

Marie was the highlight of the day. Her English is fantastic, her knowledge of Bayeux and Normandy is impressive, and her love of architecture, history and “hidden gems” made the walking tour extremely enjoyable. She took her time and also took us to her favorite bakery where we enjoyed apricot! We would recommend Marie to family and friends and use her services again if we return to Normandy

Each step unveils a story, with every corner adorned by timeless architecture that transports you to a bygone era.

This materpiece of Gothic architecture, consecrated in 1077 by William the Conqueror Duke of Normandy and King of England, has witnessed the passage of time and the flow of history. 3- We'll end this journey by going to the Tapestry Museum where you will be able to see a UNESCOT-listed embroidery from the 11th century. It vividly depicts the events leading to the Battle of Hastings, offering a unique historical narrative through detailed scenes and characters. Ready to join me for this trip through time?
