Bayeux, a lively city all year round

Life in the ancient medieval city of Bayeux is marked by several major annual events which are not to be missed during your stay in Normandy!

For more than 35 years now, Bayeux has been alive with a famous medieval festival every first weekend in July, attracting some 50,000 people to the town. The summer continues with a monumental projection show on the south façade of the Cathedral, a time to breathe, an ode to nature and the 4 seasons in colour and music (Free in July-August). In October, the Bayeux Calvados Normandie War Correspondents’ Prize celebrates the freedom of the press for over 30 years. In December, the interior of Bayeux Cathedral is transformed into a fairytale setting, with an entirely coloured nave decorated with monumental projections… ” The Cathedral of William, the Mysterious Traveller“, an immersive show for all the family!
