Even the most urban corners of Bayeux hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like D-Day beaches offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Rue Saint-Martin for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
