This building houses
the most important and well known attraction in this part of France
- The Bayeux Tapestry. The Tapestry is made of wool
embroidered onto linen cloth and is 70 yards long! It tells
the story of William the Conqueror's rise from duke of Normandy to
king of England and depicts his victory over Harold and the Battle
of Hastings in 1066. To see one of my photos of a portion of
the actual tapestry, roll your mouse over the image above. |
