Bayeux, France

 

I'm in Bayeux, population 13,000, the first major town secured by the Allies during the D-Day invasion in 1944. Fortunately, the town was left unscathed because the Germans were concentrated on defending the city of Caen about a dozen miles away. Many of the streets in the city are cobblestones making it a bumpy ride for cyclists.
Nice half-timbered building.
The Auer River runs through town.
Bayeux Cathedral.
Another view of Auer River.
Auer River provides calm views.
World War ll memorial/museum in Bayeux.
Tanks are scattered around the memorial/museum.
