Why Bayeux Cathedral matters
Notre-Dame de Bayeux is a large cathedral mixing Romanesque and Gothic styles. It was consecrated in the 11th century in the presence of William the Conqueror's family. The spire is visible from across town. Step inside to see the crypt and the carved details, then wander the medieval lanes outside.
