Nowadays, very few mills are still in operation in their original function, but they appear to hikers and cyclists along the river as technical and historical monuments of an ancient craft tradition: solely through human ingenuity and the natural power of flowing water as driving energy, the heavy millstones inside were moved and thus, for example, grain kernels could be ground into flour (so-called grain mills) or oil could be pressed from fruits (e.g. olives) (so-called oil mills).

The museum where the famous Bayeux Tapestry is exhibited.

A must-see for history buffs. A 70-meter-long and 60-centimeter-high embroidered tapestry from the 11th century. It depicts the conquest of England by William the Conqueror in 1066, including the Battle of Hastings, in 58 individual scenes. The tapestry is considered one of the most important medieval works of art in Europe.

Notre-Dame de Bayeux Cathedral An imposing Gothic cathedral, consecrated in 1077. William the Conqueror is said to have been present here.

These pontoons, made of concrete, were brought here from England and used to build a port to supply the Allies with men, weapons and equipment.

Nice small city

Beautiful quiet spot near a memorial.

The battery in Longues-sur-Mer is considered one of the best-preserved in France. Located on a 60-meter-high cliff between Omaha Beach and Gold Beach, it was positioned directly opposite the Allied fleet. It is the only battery whose guns are still in place. You can move around freely and walk into anything.
