More on my research trip to England and France…
On
Friday, we took the Eurostar to Paris, switched trains, and traveled to Caen.
From there, we took a taxi to Bayeux, a small town founded in the first century BC. It was also the first
city of the Battle of Normandy to be liberated. If I could, I
would have stayed there forever! It was everything I imagined a French town to
be. We stayed at the boutique hotel the Villa Lara in the heart
of the historic center. The room, service, attention to detail, and incredible
staff added the “plus” to a five-star visit to Normandy, but more about that
later.

Pillow cover I purchased in the gift shop after viewing
the Bayeux Tapestry - an embroidered cloth, nearly 230 feet long
that celebrates the history and story of William the Conqueror. |
