Pool complex situated 10 meters from site

Pool complex situated five minutes' drive from site

Dog-friendly site an easy riverside walk away from Bayeux town centre
A 10-minute drive from the Normandy coast and D-Day beaches
Pétanque, table tennis and playground on site; pool five minutes’ walk

Weave a scenic and historic Normandy holiday with a stay at Camping Municipal des Bords de l'Aure, set an easy riverside walk away from the town centre of Bayeux and its world-famed tapestry telling the story of the Battle of Hastings and the Norman invasion of England. More recent history can be learnt about around the Normandy D-Day beaches, around 10 minutes' drive away from base. Otherwise opt to try the many outdoor activities in the region, like the 36-hole golf course at Omaha beach 25 minutes' drive away, or the horse riding and watersports centres within 10 kilometres. The Parc Festyland theme park is also only 25 minutes' drive away for a day on the rides. The site has bikes to hire to take to the town or the coast. Also around for guests are a playground, table tennis and a pétanque court. There may be no pool on site, but there's a splendid indoor pool at the Centre aquatique Auréo, which is just five minutes' walk away from the site and free for guests to use. Those activities are sure to give you a healthy appetite, so it's handy that the site has a bread and pastries service.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Friendliness of the staff, pleasant river walk to town, able to order breakfast croissants. Very nice position . Reasonable price

Disliked: Pigeons over run, they completely covered our van in their droppings. Lights in sanitary block go off before you’ve had a chance to even brush teeth. Makes for a fun shower. Please alter the timings, very narrow road and straight angle plots make for tricky moves

From the manager: Hello Jilliam,
Thank you for taking the time to rate and comment on the campsite.

We will check the light problem, which works normally continuously when it is dark.
It is true that our roads are a little small on the campsite. You have to drive slowly and find the right maneuver to park.
Do not hesitate to ask us for a location adapted to the size of your vehicle.

Lesley K. Apr 2025

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Location, infrastructure and amenities of site, friendly and helpful staff, how clean and well maintained site is. How quiet site is given it’s location on Bayeux’s ring road.

Disliked: Showers work on push button basis and you have to keep pushing which was a little annoying as block door wedged open so it was chilly.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello Lesley,
We thank you for your positive note and for taking the time to make a small comment.

We understand the problem. Know that you can close the bathroom door if necessary. It is simply held with a hold behind. A cleaning team is at your disposal from 6am to 8pm.

Thank you very much for your comment and time.

Liked: Excellent facilities (looked relatively recently upgraded). Clean, well laid out. Friendly welcome. Great location for exploring a great city.

Disliked: Reception closed at 6, not sure how would gave got in if I'd have arrived 15 minutes later than I did (number plate recognition barrier needed to be loaded in)

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello,
We thank you for our excellent note.
The reception closes at 18:00.
But if you have booked, no worries, we register your license plate, and so you can come after 18:00 and until 23:00. The entrance to the campsite works with the reading of your license plate.
In summer the campsite is open until 19:00.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: One of the best sites I have stopped at, Plenty of space great facilities easy to find. Easy walk to town and back. The path along the river is very nice although a little longer than the road way. Some eateries close by. ANPR entry gates so after you are checked in come and go as you please.

Disliked: Closed at lunch time so if you arrive early you will have to wait till 2:00.

Local attractions

Take the peaceful stroll or quick bike ride from the site into the centre of Bayeux a kilometre away, home of course to the mammoth Bayeux Tapestry, the 68 metres of 11th-century tapestry depicting the Normandy invasion of England and the subsequent Battle of Hastings. Also in town are the 11th-century Bayeux Cathedral, a British war cemetery, the Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy and the MAHB art museum, with paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, porcelain and Bayeux lace from throughout the centuries. Another D-Day museum is at Arromanches-les-Bains (10 minutes' drive) and the Normandy landing beaches of Omaha (25 minutes), Juno (25 minutes) and Utah (45 minutes) are all within striking distance. The Caen Memorial, commemorating World War II and the Battle for Caen, is 25 minutes' drive away. Outdoor activities are easily sorted with local horse riding, a couple of kilometres from the site, or with watersports including paddleboarding, sailing and sea kayaking at the nearby Normandy beaches, 10 minutes' drive away. You could also spend a day at the Les etangs de planquery (25 minutes), or take the kids to the Parc Festyland (25 minutes), themed around the events of 1066 and all that.
