Our recommended Bayeux
Accommodation Links
There are many great places to stay in Bayeux,
here are just a few that we especially recommend:

Two fantastic 3-Star hotels are the Churchill Hotel - ideally situated for
Place de Quebec and the Hotel d’Argouges opposite Place Saint Patrice.
The owners and staff of these two establishments are good friends of
ours and their customer service is top-notch.

In the 2-Star category are La Reine Mathilde , which is very close to Place de Quebec and Le Bayeux also a short walk away - again the owners of both
these hotels are friends of ours and come highly recommended.

There are also numerous "Bed and Breakfasts", the three that come with our highest recommendation are: Les Remparts , Tardif , Les Trois “Pierre” and Le Castel

Here is a complete list of places to stay
on the Bayeux Office of Tourism website
