Part 4/9:
No trip to Normandy is complete without witnessing the Bayeux Tapestry. This nearly 1,000-year-old tapestry vividly illustrates the events leading to the Battle of Hastings in 1066, showcasing the story of William the Conqueror.
At nearly 70 meters long, it unfolds the history along its narrative and is complemented by an excellent audio guide that enhances the experience. In Bayeux, visitors can also enjoy the Battle of Normandy Museum, which offers more context to the D-Day events.
4. Honfleur
Moving toward the upper Normandy region, Honfleur captivates visitors with its picturesque harbor and wooden houses. This charming fishing village is where many artists have drawn inspiration for their work.
