  • Dog-friendly site an easy riverside walk away from Bayeux town centre
  • A 10-minute drive from the Normandy coast and D-Day beaches
  • Pétanque, table tennis and playground on site; pool five minutes’ walk
Weave a scenic and historic Normandy holiday with a stay at Camping Municipal des Bords de l'Aure, set an easy riverside walk away from the town centre of Bayeux and its world-famed tapestry telling the story of the Battle of Hastings and the Norman invasion of England. More recent history can be learnt about around the Normandy D-Day beaches, around 10 minutes' drive away from base. Otherwise opt to try the many outdoor activities in the region, like the 36-hole golf course at Omaha beach 25 minutes' drive away, or the horse riding and watersports centres within 10 kilometres. The Parc Festyland theme park is also only 25 minutes' drive away for a day on the rides. The site has bikes to hire to take to the town or the coast. Also around for guests are a playground, table tennis and a pétanque court. There may be no pool on site, but there's a splendid indoor pool at the Centre aquatique Auréo, which is just five minutes' walk away from the site and free for guests to use. Those activities are sure to give you a healthy appetite, so it's handy that the site has a bread and pastries service.

Electric grass pitch

Liked This was our first time exploring Bayeux and this campsite is in perfect location. So easy to get around and the facilities were excellent and cleanliness was fantastic. Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Lovely riverside walk within easy reach to access the town for all amenities, however lots on the doorstep if needed. Pitches were good size and quite private with all the hedging around. We will definitely stay again!

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Beautiful well kept camp site, the pitches are quite large. The added bonus staying here is you get free entrance to the out door swimming pool which is nice especially when it's hot but men do have to wear speedo trunks and not shorts. The location of the site is perfect and you can order fresh baguettes for the next day from the reception. The showers and toilets are good and cleaned every day. Little bats flying about on a night time is lovely to watch and Beautiful well kept grounds. We will definitely come back to this campsite.

Electric optional grass tent pitch (backpacker, no cars)

Liked Location, facilites, friendly staff, well kept and clean site

Disliked Hardness of pitch (although this is hard to manage with the weather). The motor homes seem to get hte nicest grass areas while the tents have the hard areas.
The river walk does not take you all the way into town as advertised. Got lost twice.

All in all a great place - would stay there again.

Local attractions

Take the peaceful stroll or quick bike ride from the site into the centre of Bayeux a kilometre away, home of course to the mammoth Bayeux Tapestry, the 68 metres of 11th-century tapestry depicting the Normandy invasion of England and the subsequent Battle of Hastings. Also in town are the 11th-century Bayeux Cathedral, a British war cemetery, the Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy and the MAHB art museum, with paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, porcelain and Bayeux lace from throughout the centuries. Another D-Day museum is at Arromanches-les-Bains (10 minutes' drive) and the Normandy landing beaches of Omaha (25 minutes), Juno (25 minutes) and Utah (45 minutes) are all within striking distance. The Caen Memorial, commemorating World War II and the Battle for Caen, is 25 minutes' drive away. Outdoor activities are easily sorted with local horse riding, a couple of kilometres from the site, or with watersports including paddleboarding, sailing and sea kayaking at the nearby Normandy beaches, 10 minutes' drive away. You could also spend a day at the Les etangs de planquery (25 minutes), or take the kids to the Parc Festyland (25 minutes), themed around the events of 1066 and all that.
