Baia is a small town with a big history.
Located about 4 km from the Manche Canal in the Claves department of Normandy, the River Or runs through it and empties into the Atlantic Ocean. Such a perfect location has made it strategic since the days of the Druids.
The real development of Bayeux came during the time of William the Conqueror, who took control of England and there, in the city's magnificent cathedral, is the world-famous tapestry woven by his wife and depicting the conquest of England.
But is the city's glorious history the main reason why it's worth living here? With all due respect to the history and the splendor of the cathedral, the main reason why I recommend living here is its location, right in the center of Normandy.
Thanks to its location, Bayeux becomes a perfect place for anyone who wants to travel not only in Normandy but also in the northern part of Brittany . In the town you will find a variety of accommodation types from luxury hotels, standard hotels, apartments and villas to family accommodation.
