Old Bayeux wasn't bombed during the landings, so it's one of Normandy's few cities where the medieval quarters still exist. It's such a pleasure to walk these streets. As well, there is the UNESCO-listed Bayeux tapestry, the Cathedral, the Battle of Normandy Museum, and a moving British cemetery.

Arts & Culture
Caen is William the Conqueror's city: there's the remains of the ducal castle, as well as abbeys built by William and Mathilde. There are also museums of art (modern and other) and a museum of traditional life in Normandy. Caen is also great for shopping.

Shopping
Normandy is famous for its quality products. Les Halles offers a great selection of regional food specialties, including the yummy Isigny caramels, as well as some artisanal handicrafts. This is where I go for gifts to take for family and friends back home.

Drinks & Nightlife
La Fregate is a nice little bar that often offers quality live music. If there's no music, it's still a nice place to have a drink, with a terrace overlooking the sea.
