This relatively quiet town about 3 hours drive from Paris has gained a certain amount of fame as the home of the Bayeux Tapestry, an historic piece of art portraying the events which lead to the Norman conquest of England. The tapestry should unquestionably be amongst your must-sees while you're in the area, but there's no need to rush away once you've ticked this off the list. A historical region and former province of northwest France on the English Channel. Part of ancient Gaul, the region was successively conquered by the Romans, Franks, and Norse; passed to England after the Norman Conquest (1066) and during the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453); and was restored to France in 1450. Its beaches were the focal point of Allied landings on D-day (June 6, 1944) in World War II.
