Bayeux is one of the rare Norman towns spared from the 1944 bombings — it was the first French town liberated by the Allies on 7 June 1944, the day after D-Day. Its intact medieval centre, with half-timbered houses and limestone townhouses, is exceptionally beautiful. The Bayeux Tapestry, a 70-metre-long embroidery dating from the 11th century, tells the story of William the Conqueror's conquest of England in 1066 — it is one of Europe's most precious artistic treasures, inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register. The Notre-Dame Cathedral, a masterpiece of Norman Romanesque and Gothic art, dominates the town with its twin towers. Bayeux is also the ideal starting point for D-Day beach visits: Omaha Beach is 15 km away, Gold Beach 10 km, the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer 20 km. The Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy chronicles the fighting of summer 1944. Taxis from Caen are widely used by international tourists arriving by train or plane who wish to explore D-Day sites using Bayeux as their base.
Route
Route Caen → Bayeux
From Caen, your driver takes the N13 dual carriageway towards Cherbourg. The N13 is a toll-free 2x2 lane expressway crossing the Bessin cereal plain. The landscape is typically Norman: wheat and rapeseed fields, bocage hedgerows, Caen-stone church spires. You pass Caen-Carpiquet airport (on the left) then cross through Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse and Putot-en-Bessin, scenes of fierce fighting in June 1944. The Bayeux Centre exit appears after 25 km and leads directly to the historic town centre. No tolls on this route. The journey takes 25 minutes normally and can reach 40 minutes in peak tourist season (June-August) when the N13 is used by tourist coaches heading to the D-Day beaches.

Specific tips for the Caen → Bayeux route
The Bayeux Tapestry (museum, €12) takes 1h30 with the included audioguide — arrive at opening (9am) to avoid queues in summer. Notre-Dame Cathedral is free to enter and deserves 30 minutes. Bayeux market (Saturday mornings, Place Saint-Patrice) is a fine Norman market. For D-Day beaches, the hourly taxi hire is ideal: your driver takes you to Arromanches (Mulberry harbour remains), Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery at Colleville (free, deeply moving). Allow at least half a day for D-Day sites. La Rapière restaurant (Rue Saint-Jean) serves refined Norman cuisine in a medieval setting. The Bayeux War Cemetery is the largest Commonwealth cemetery in France (4,648 graves) and is free to visit.
