The architecture of Bayeux is a living catalog of design spanning centuries and styles. Structures like Cathedral Notre-Dame tell stories that words alone cannot — the materials, the proportions, the craft behind each facade. Look closer and you'll find surprises like MAHB — the kind of detail that only rewards those on foot.
