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.

Liked: Friendly staff, great facilities which were really clean and well maintained. Grounds maintained really well, and despite being full, a very peaceful site at night.

Access to neighbouring swimming pool is a fantastic bonus.

Great location with off road walking access direct to centre of Bayeux in under 15 minutes.

Disliked: Lights turned off automatically in women's toilets in one block in under 2 minutes which meant the lights turned off mid shower etc vs over 10 minutes before they turn off in the other block. This needs to be looked at.

Liked: Just about everything. Good price, beautiful well kept site, friendly staff. You can walk to the centre of town by several routes, one following the river, in about 15 minutes. There are takeaway food sellers on site of an evening, and eateries 5 minutes walk away across the road. Large Carrefour 10 minutes walk or a very short bike ride away. Free access to the fabulous swimming baths next door. Motorhome service area, what's not to like?

Disliked: Well actually.....Not a real complaint, but there are no toilet seats in the otherwise excellent ablutions block. Not a deal breaker, just weird.

Liked: A fantastic site in Bayeux. Wonderful modern facilities and plenty of them.
Immaculately kept site, with mature trees. Friendly, helpful staff on reception.
A lovely short walk by the river to the centre, museums and Catherdral.
A great location to visit the DDay beaches..
Would recommend.
You're in a city so surrounded by roads. This did not bother us but we were on a central pitch.
We stayed in our vw campervan, so did not use their chalets but they looked immaculate.
We didn't have children with us but there would be plenty to entertain children in and around Bayeux itself.
Apparently the sport centre pool is open to the camp site users, although we didn't use these facilities.
Plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants a short walk/drive away.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike. It was exactly what we wanted.

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.
