点评:The Notre-Dame cathedral in Bayeux is one of the most majestic and beautiful I have seen in such a small town. In summer at nightfall, there is an awesome “Sound and Light”. The theme of the show changes every year. Absolutely unmissable.
But Bayeux is not only that, there is so much to do and learn about it.
While the history of Bayeux is traced back to Roman times, it is now mostly known for its important role during WW2, its Gothic cathedral, the lace museum where you can even enrol for an embroidery course to learn this ancestral technique, and of course, until end of Septembre, Bayeux was home to the ever-famous “Bayeux Tapestry” depicting the events leading up to Norman Conquest of England in 1066, now on loan in London for the next two years.
Bayeux is a vibrant small town, where it is nice to stroll the side-streets and town centre whatever the season. It is rich in great little boutiques, good restaurants, bars and lovely hotels where to put down your suitcase while discovering this awesome town. It is also, the perfect starting point to radiate around Normandy to discover and try all the delicacies it has to offer (cider, Calvados, cheese, oysters to name just a few), and, of course, to witness a slice of ancient and modern history with several remains on the beaches and the museums recounting D-Day, the Normandy Beach Landing, the American Cemetery, the unmissable Mont Saint-Michel and so much more.
Be aware, that some periods of the year are packed with tourists, therefore make all your reservations well in advance.

但巴约的魅力远不止于此,这里还有许多值得体验和学习的地方。
巴约的历史可以追溯到罗马时代,但如今它最广为人知的还是其在二战中的重要作用、哥特式大教堂、蕾丝博物馆(在那里你甚至可以报名参加刺绣课程,学习这项古老的技艺)。当然,直到九月底,巴约还收藏着举世闻名的“巴约挂毯”,这幅挂毯描绘了1066年诺曼征服英格兰之前的种种历史事件,目前正在伦敦展出两年。
巴约是一座充满活力的小镇,无论哪个季节,漫步在街巷和市中心都是一种享受。这里遍布精致的小精品店、美味的餐厅、酒吧和舒适的酒店,您可以放下行李,尽情探索这座迷人的小镇。这里也是游览诺曼底的理想起点,您可以探索并品尝当地各种美食(例如苹果酒、卡尔瓦多斯白兰地、奶酪和牡蛎等等),当然,您还可以亲身感受古今历史的交融,在海滩上的遗迹和博物馆里,您可以了解诺曼底登陆、美军公墓、不容错过的圣米歇尔山等等。
请注意,一年中的某些时段游客众多,因此务必提前预订。
