How long to spend in Bayeux?

If you want to see Bayeux at a comfortable pace, set aside a full day. If you can, stay overnight too. That way you can visit the key historical places and still take in the calm feel of the evenings.

One simple plan could look like this. Put about two hours on the Bayeux Tapestry. Then add roughly one hour at the Notre-Dame Cathedral. After that, plan for about two hours at the Battle of Normandy Memorial Museum. If you plan to treat Bayeux as your starting point for guided trips to the D-Day landing beaches, plan for two to three nights.
