Normandy - Hotel d'Argouges and the Town of Bayeux

October 30, 2013

We all had a wonderful french breakfast in our b&b and the children were delighted to get their own pot of hot chocolate. We had lots of croissants, chocolate croissants, boiled eggs, deli meats, and cheeses. 

The room all set for breakfast

We first went and explored a little around the place. This b&b was built in the early 18th century and was privately owned until the 1980's when it was turned into the Hotel d'Argouges. The owner has put a lot of money into the place doing renovations and remodeling. It really was a neat place to stay and very family friendly. This b&b was recommended by a friend of mine who stayed here a few years ago.

These used to be the stables that were in front of Hotel d'Argouges

This was our bedroom and the children's bedroom was just off a door to the right 

The other view of our room. The ceilings were SOO HIGH!!

The best part of our room was the REMODELED bathroom! It was HUGE. It had bathtub and shower, huge towel warmer, and double sinks. It was VERY American!

This was the back patio area where you could eat breakfast or sit
outside in the evening but it was too cold and rainy!

Here are a few pictures of Bayeux during the daytime.

Bayeux Cathedral - We will come back and see this at night

Now we are off to explore the D-Day beaches for the day!
