2. Around the Year One Thousand, the dukes’ fortress is particularly effective and protects a vast domain. Built on the model of “motte and bailey” castles, the fortress is therefore protected by solid ramparts and dominated, at the top of the rocky spur, by a “keep”, the base of which at least is built with stone. As a place of power for the new rulers of the country, the city is the place of birth of the most famous of them: William the conqueror (1027-1087). At this time, Falaise is a prosperous town that has 3,000 or 4,000 inhabitants.

About Bayeux

Bayeux is a small Norman town of medieval lanes and a Gothic cathedral, home to a famous embroidery of the Norman conquest and close to the D-Day beaches.

A strip of embroidered linen almost seventy metres long, made in the eleventh century, tells the story of the Norman conquest of England in 1066 and hangs in its own museum in town. The cathedral, whose crossing spire towers over the rooftops, was consecrated in 1077 with William the Conqueror present. Bayeux escaped bombing in 1944, so its old centre of half-timbered and stone houses along the River Aure is largely intact.
