Anyone got any suggestions for clean cheap sleeps in Bayeux? A hostel will be fine so long as it's clean. Thanks! <BR>M

how cheap? I stayed at a lovely huge old manor house - it's about 220 FF, give or take, a night. prices could be subject to change, of course... <BR> <BR>if that is cheap enough, give me a sec - I will look up the info. or, do a search on "Colonel Chilcott" on this board - I have written about him, a have many others... <BR> <BR>thanks <BR> <BR>Beth

Margie <BR> <BR>We stayed at the Chilcott's (about USD 30/night w bfst) while our son stayed at a great hostel in Bayeux. He loved the hostel and we thought the B&B was great. <BR> <BR>Le Manor des Doyens <BR>St Loup Hors <BR>Bayeux <BR>14400 France <BR> <BR>From US: 011 33 2 31 22 39 09 <BR>[email protected] <BR>www.vrbo.com/vrbo/352.htm <BR> <BR>Bon voyage <BR>

My colleage-age son stayed in their hostel in June 2000; it my be the only one in the area. It was four or five blocks from the cathedral, but it didn't seem to be 1 km from the town. It was his first hostel experience and he loved it. <BR> <BR>Don't miss the tapestry.
