Family Home in Bayeux -- Great Bargain




What a wonderful bargain this was.  Convenient, Comfortable, Charming.

The only hostel in town and meets the budget.  Also historic, clean spacious.

Even the French breakfast was delicious and plenty.  We ate so much, we could skip lunch altogether.



I got there around 8 pm and the place was already closed.  Luckily a friend let me stay with her until the next day.  It was cold but a warm bed and very clean.

The whole place was a little worn down in places, but that gives it a family home feel.  There were spiral staircases, exposed beams  -- lots of character and authentically French.  I believe the home dates back to the 18th century and is the oldest home I've ever spent the night in.

The courtyard was lovely and very charming with an old red telephone booth.

The owner doesn't speak much English, but after all we're in France.
