Bayeux, queen Mathildés tapestry and William the conqueror.


Hello Friends,
We left early this morning to Bayeux.
I have told you that my second grandson will be named William ( Guillaume in french)
My son gave him the name of William because of « Guillaume le conquérant, William the conqueror who was our Duke of Normandy and became king of England.
We went to the queen Mathilde ( his wife) tapestry
From the 11th Century.
Unfortunately we can’t take pictures of the tapestry which is 70 meters long. We can’t photography it not to damage it but in my next post I will show you part of it.




This is Bayeux ´s cathedral 


Middle Ages houses. The streets are still paved


This house is the beautiful one don’t you think so?
We had a cake in à pâtisserie 




 And then continued our trip… to be continued tomorrow !
