The pleasant surprise in Normandy

I tend to do france in regions and explore them well. While the more popular places of any region have plenty said about them and shown on social media. So many times you know what you're getting into or what to expect. Then there are places you didn't consider but suddenly they feel doable for whatever reason. What's more is when you come there, they pleasantly surprise you. Well, that's exactly what Bayeux is in my case. This little city in the heart of Normandy felt so friendly, lively and refreshing. It offers plenty to see and do. And now to think of it, I think Bayeux makes for an excellent base for exploring Burgundy. I spent 3 nights here during which the weather was lovely, it stayed warm in the noons, and got cooler in the nights. Being a foot traveller, i loved that everything was within walking distance. Plenty of options in restaurants, bars, bakeries and places to stay. The bayeux museum and the D Day Museum are worth a visit. I strongly recommend Bayeux for those who want to getaway from the big cities and find a more relaxed place for holidays with plenty to do. #myhiddengems #bayeux #france #summerdestinations #normandy #100waysoftravel #beautiful #europe
