Bayeux is world famous for its 70 meter Tapestry illustrating the story of the conquest of England by William, Duke of Normandy.
In addition to this masterpiece, Bayeux boasts an outstanding architectural heritage. Miraculously spared by the allied bombardments of 1944, the town preserves a historic mediaeval centre and architectural treasures that havebeen preserved intact: the 11th century cathedral, timber-framed houses, towered manors and a host of private mansions.
Bayeux has also made a name for itself in two great fields of artistic creation: lace and porcelain.
