Getting to Bayeux

Bayeux is an ideal add-on to a trip to the Normandy Landing beaches
  • By car: Direct access by motorway, A13 and A84, then the N13
  • By train: Bayeux is on the Paris-St Lazare-Cherbourg line. Paris-Bayeux direct takes 2 hours. The train station is 700m from the museum
  • Car ferry: Port of Ouistreham (30km)
  • There are buses to Bayeux from Caen and Ouistreham: take the green bus line.
  • Accommodation

    You can book a hotel in and around Bayeyx through the Tourist Office
