Bayeux Mysteries and legends of a cathedral

Let’s immerse ourselves in the sacred past of the cathedral and together discover what the stones are trying to tell us.

Shhh… can you hear it?

Let’s follow the song of the stones, paintings and stained-glass windows, and try to decipher the hidden messages of this beautiful building. Sun, energy and spirituality, how many stories, prayers and symbols live in this place?

We will delve into its history, but from a different angle. Let’s follow the pendulum and listen to those who built this wonder. And – who knows – we might even have to call on God!

And then, we will follow another story, the story of our Duke of Normandy. We shall depart without even looking back. We’ll cross the seas for a historic battle, which changed the course of history. The wind fills the sails, swords are drawn, horses neigh with the excitement of the battle to come. The famous Bayeux Tapestry will teach us all about this incredible fight.

Introduction to the history of the 11th century work outside the museum. You will need +40mn afterwards to discover the Tapestry by yourself, with an audioguide (included).
