  • 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 Local to ports. Local to shops. Stayed two nights. Pitch huge. Showers etc clean and hot. Lots of amenities on site and passes for pool next door available. Friendly staff. Very impressed. Immaculate site.

Disliked There was traffic noise on our side of the site. But didnt bother me. Just worth noting if your a light sleeper you may want a pitch further back which may be quiter. No soap at sinks in WCs so take your own. Our hook up tripped a few times but staff sorted within minutes.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Very nice site. We personally went to do D day beaches and it is perfectly located. Bayeux is stunning with plenty of restaurants. There is a large supermarket 5 minutes walk from the site. Toilets and showers where spotless. Would recommend and will use municipal sites again

Disliked Our pitch layout did not allow us to place our tent alongside the van. We managed by pitching it behind the van. Be specific about your requirements. Not a complaint as we made it work.

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.
