The Hôtel de la Bellefontaine is a nice manor house 800 meters from the center of Bayeux but set in a park with lovely grounds and a rushing stream. We stayed there two years ago and loved it. Prices are reasonable - I think we paid about $80 for a very spacious double. There's no restaurant and no pool, if that matters to you. It's fairly remarkable for being so close to the center of Bayeux yet in such a bucolic setting.

I think that this question might get two different answers depending on whether you prefer to be more or less IN Bayeux - - or "in the vicinity".<BR><BR>We've nbeen putting together ideas that are "near" - - but on the coast (or harbor in the case of some towns). I don't have my notes with me right now, but you could write me if you have a list of towns that would fit ypour criteria. Or I will try to post a few here later this weekend perhaps. How close is "vicinity" to you?<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

Suzanne,<BR><BR>I second StCirq's recommendation for the Hotel de la Bellefontaine. Very quiet and relaxing setting. The rooms are quite large, but the amenities of the room are somewhat sparse. No closet, no drawers, small armoire instead. Bed a bit lumpy. But the price is right and the setting is charming. <BR><BR>If you are looking for something special, the Chateau de Sully just outside of Bayeux is remarkable. We had dinner there and I would stay there on any other trip to the area. Idyllic garden-like grounds, park-like setting, beautiful public rooms, and dinner was a joy. We also had tea there one afternoon and never wanted to leave. I don't have the prices, but you can look at this site for more info.:<BR>http://digital.france.com/hotels/hoteldetails.ihtml?HotelID=9460<BR><BR>Have a great time!<BR><BR>Lisa
