From the colossal naves, the Gothic arches to the stained glass windows and the whimsical gargoyles, the structure makes for an awe-inspiring sight.

Bayeux Botanical Garden

Jardin botanique de Bayeux is a botanical garden in Basse-Normandie, France. Also known as Jardin Public de Bayeux garden, the garden was established in the 18th-Century and planted on former meadow lands by Charlemagne Jean-Delamare. The wealthy landowner wanted the state to host horticulture classes on this bequeathed land. The park was finally opened to the public and designed with the help of landscape architect Eugène Bühler. The park houses many centuries-old trees, including the Weeping European Beech. This iconic tree was designated a Natural Monument of France in 1932.

Bayeux War Cemetery

Found in the town of Bayeux in France, the Bayeux Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cemetery holds the graves of several thousand soldiers, making it one of the largest cemeteries for soldiers of the Second World War.

Facing the site is the Bayeux Memorial erected in memory of the 1800 soldiers, also killed in Normandy, who do not have any known grave. In 2004 and 2014, ceremonies of commemoration were held at the cemetery, attended by Queen Elizabeth II and the President of France. It inspired a poem by poet Charles Causley titled "At the British War Cemetery, Bayeux".
