Outside the cathedral Notre Dame in Bayeux. It was originally in Romanesque style but later rebuilt in Gothic style. The cathedral was consecrated in 1077 in the presence of William the Conqueror (who was also the Duke of Normandy) - but the build had started already around 1040 and mostly finished in the 15th century. And the tower in the middle of this shot is 19th century. Well, the lower part of it is properly medieval, but that part got renovated and a second level added in 1866 and all given that more-medieval-than-the-Middle-Ages look typical of the Neo-Gothic style.

It was mostly finished in the 15th century. But the nave is still very much in the Romanesque style, dating to the 12th century.

This is a perfect example of how medieval cathedral builders totally ignored how hard their building would be to photograph 900 years later! Joking aside, it IS quite hard to photograph the front of this cathedral and get it all because of the buildings surrounding it. This is the best I could do - but at least I could capture how intimidating and high the towers are...

coche de Bayeux
Le porc de Bayeux, cochon de Bayeux, bayeusain ou porc de Longué est une des six dernières races porcines françaises dont l'origine remonte à la fin du XIXe siècle. Issue de croisements entre cochons normands et berkshire, la race se développe honorablement au début du XXe siècle, avant que les effectifs ne soient décimés lors du débarquement de Normandie. Un programme de sauvegarde est lancé en 1984, et les effectifs, qui restent modestes, sont en train de remonter légèrement grâce aux efforts de l'Institut Technique du porc et du livre généalogique des races locales de porc.

=========================
The old town of Bayeux with the cathedral in the background.
Bayeux Cathedral, also known as Cathedral of Our Lady of Bayeux (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Bayeux), is a Roman Catholic church located in the town of Bayeux in Normandy, France. A national monument, it is the seat of the Bishop of Bayeux and Lisieux and was the original home of the Bayeux Tapestry. The cathedral is in the Norman-Romanesque architectural tradition.
The site is an ancient one and was once occupied by Roman sanctuaries. The present cathedral was consecrated on 14 July 1077 in the presence of William, Duke of Normandy and King of England. It was here that William may have forced Harold Godwinson to take the oath, the breaking of which led to the Norman conquest of England. Wikipedia
