Bayeux would prove to be a complete change of pace from Paris. Whereas Paris was chaotic and dirty, Bayeux was clean and refreshing. We were very fortunate to secure a room at the Lion D'Or, especially since we were there during the few days leading up to the 55th anniversary of the most exciting event in local history, the D-Day Invasion.
The city of Bayeux is charming, and our hotel was a short walk from the train station, so we were able to enjoy the warm weather and the scenery on our way. While checking in at our hotel, we flipped through their guest book to see that our accommodations had been shared by President Eisenhower and Prince Charles, among others. After that, another walk around town to take in the sights and make tour reservations for our trip to Normandy the next day.
