Description
An old mill on the Aure River, in the center of the Normandy town of Bayeux. Bayeux is home to the famous Tapisserie de Bayeux or Bayeux Tapestry, an embroidered cloth nearly 70 m (230 ft) long and 50 cm (20 in) tall. It depicts the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England and including the Battle of Hastings in 1066. It is thought to have been woven in the 11th century, within a few years after the battle.
Bayeux is also famous for being the first French city to be liberated on D-Day (June 7, 1944), but unlike most other towns in Normandy, Bayeux was lucky enough to remain intact.
