This intensive itinerary spans nearly a millennium of history, from the Norman Conquest of 1066 to the Allied liberation of 1944. The route includes the Gothic cathedral where the Bayeux Tapestry was originally displayed, the Baron Gérard Museum with its fine arts collection, and the iconic Liberty Tree from the French Revolution. The afternoon focuses on WWII sites: the Battle of Normandy Memorial Museum, the Commonwealth War Cemetery with over 4,600 graves, and the Reporters Memorial honoring fallen journalists. Note: The Bayeux Tapestry Museum is closed for renovation until October 2027. The Baron Gérard Museum is closed throughout January.
