  • 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 Loved this site. We are returning in a few days before catching the Caen ferry home.
Clean and well maintained facilities . Hot showers and nightly food vans visit.
A beautiful walk along the river takes you to the centre of Bayeux.

Disliked It’s hard to criticise as site is great- I would suggest having hand soap in the toilet areas.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Very clean and convenient site. Great access to the local swimming pool, and fantastic access to local amenities. The town is a 15 minute walk and has some lovely cafes and historic places to visit.

Disliked Not a dislike - and nothing the site can do. However, the pool was extremely busy. Granted it was summer holidays. Don’t expect to be able to go for a leisurely swim, the pool was packed. Out of summer season this may be a different story.

Electric grass pitch

Liked We booked this site because of it’s proximity to the centre of Bayeux.
Pleasant walk into town along the river.
The campsite was easy to find and our grass pitch with electric was quiet.
There are a lot of trees for shade and good hedging between each pitch.
The showers and toilets were clean with plenty of hot water. Big outdoor/undercover washing up sinks.
We didn’t have time to make use of the free entry to the adjacent municipal pool with flumes but they must be well used by families with children.

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.
