  • 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.

Spacious sites, clean facilities, and helpful staff. Easy walk to Bayeux. Free pool access and food trucks are a plus. Some road noise and weak WiFi reported. Great for exploring Normandy!

Liked Great location in Bayeux. Excellent helpful reception and super site layout. Facilities as good as we've had this year. Just a great site for the money!!

Disliked Nothing other than the hook up points are spread out not on each pitch so we had to move as our 20m cable wouldn't reach the connection point.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Great location for exploring Bayeaux and close enough to cycle to D-Day beaches and memorials.
Shower and toilet facilities were clean and plentiful.
The greeting at reception was lovely. Very friendly.
Good range of recycling and composting options.
Able to hire bikes (electric) from a local company who will deliver and collect them from the site.
Breakfast was available to order from reception.

Disliked No soap or hand dryer in the toilets. Doesn’t seem uncommon at many sites we’ve stayed at but still in my opinion a must.
We had a hard standing pitch with grass area alongside. Unfortunately the grass hadn’t been cut for some time and so was very wet to walk on in the mornings. Admittedly, we were there in October and I don’t cut my grass in October so not a deal breaker.
Some road noise however not excessive and you definitely forget you’re so close to a city.

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.
