Jardin de Salome on a small island in the Aury

Quiet country roads lead to this small cemetery for approximately 630 British soldiers who died in WWII.

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.

The L'Aurel, here you can walk and enjoy the peace and quiet.

One of two water wheels. It's a pleasant place to stroll along the river.

A beautiful shopping street. The many bars and clubs invite you to linger.

As a memorial to the countless war dead, such a "Cimetiere militaire" - in German they are usually referred to as "war graves" or "soldiers' cemetery" - is still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." it says in the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the many people buried here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and an inhuman tyranny. The most important and at the same time everlasting function of soldiers' cemeteries or cemeteries of honor or war graves is therefore to keep the memory of this suffering alive and to remind each generation anew (!) of the need to maintain lasting peace.
