Ferry: The closest ferry harbours to and from the UK are Cherbourg, Caen/Ouistreham and Le Havre.

Air: The international airport for Caen (click here to access the airport’s web site) is very close-by with regular flights to the UK.

Within Bayeux

There is no useable bus service, but you don’t need one. When entering the town, park at the large car park in front of the Tapestry museum. The rest on done on foot. There are no hills, so wheelchairs have an easy time apart from the cobblestones.

Restaurants

There are some 90 restaurants in Bayeux, ranging from “forget it” to “very good”. I’ve personally tried the “Le Florentin” on a good luck try, and was not disappointed. The restaurant looked more like a snackbar, but the food was surprising good and home cooked.

Hotels

There is a reasonable accommodation offering in the city, but it’s not luxurious nor are there a lot. Prices are moderate.
