Description:
The Bayeux Tapestry details the Norman invasion of England in 1066 in a series of numbered scenes. Originally it was designed to teach a largely illiterate population about this historical event. You receive an audio guide with your entrance fee that explains each of the scenes in some detail.

I was much more impressed with this than I thought I was going to be. It is quite spectacularly detailed and the story that accompanies it is fascinating. The audio guide makes an enormous difference as well as it explains the history depicted in the tapestry, and the story involved is wonderfully interesting.

Both roman and gothic, this cathedral was built 800 years ago. It is there that the famous bayeux Tapestry was in the first place. This tapestry tells the invasion of England by the Norman-French (and the battle of Hastings) and has its own museum now since the UNESCO made it "World Heritage" in 2007.
