The trip covers around 161 miles (260 km), and it usually takes approximately three hours without stopping. Starting from the vibrant capital of France, youâll head west towards Bayeux in Normandy, an area known for its natural beauty.
On the way to Bayeux, there will be several stops along the way that you donât want to miss.

About Bayeux
Bayeux is an ancient town, having been the capital of the Baiocasses Gallic tribe. But it's best known for its well-preserved medieval town center, as the home of the Bayeux tapestry and the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Bayeux.
The town holds a significant place in modern history for being the first French town liberated during the D-Day invasion in June 1944. The town was luckily spared from major destruction during the war, preserving its historical buildings and charm.
It is so easy to feel like you have traveled back in Medieval times when you wander around the cobbled streets of Bayeux, breathe the fresh sea air, and hang around the cathedral. Be prepared to dive into history in Bayeux.
From Paris to Bayeux: travel tips
Following these two travel tips will transform your trip from Paris to Bayeaux from a simple transfer into an enriching part of your holiday.
Plan your stops ahead and explore on the way
Getting from Paris to Bayeux in the comfort of a private car means that you wonât need to worry about the little bothersome details such as fuel, traffic rules, or driving.
The best thing you can do to prepare for your trip is to pick out some places you'd like to visit since the towns along the way are too good to miss (don't worry, we've already picked out the best of the best). For instance, pay a visit to Caen to see William the Conquerorâs castle, which is one of the largest medieval fortresses in Europe.
### Pack wisely for the trip
The trip from Paris to Bayeux will take three hours (or more if you use public transport). Since itâs not the shortest trip, it would be smart to pack some essentials for your time on the road. Bring some snacks and enough water with you to preserve your energy for your stops.
Take your camera along (or make sure your phone is fully charged) since you will need to capture Normandyâs beauty in every step. Regardless of the season you are traveling to Bayeux, itâd be wise to pack a windproof jacket for youâll be by the seaside and it can get really cold at times.
How to get from Paris to Bayeux
If youâre looking to get from Paris to Bayeux, your two best options boil down to train or car. If youâre on a budget and want to get there fast, take the train. Weâll break down the pros and cons of each, as well as a few other not-as-good choices below:
Paris to Bayeux by train
The train is the best public transportation option from Paris to Bayeux by train. There are direct regional trains from Paris Saint-Lazare station. There is also a high-speed train (TGV) to Caen and from Caen a regional train to Bayeux. The fastest train ride takes around two and a half hours and costs around $35.
There are several trains per day, but frequency can vary so the schedule needs to be checked often. Although it is a comfortable and fast option offering scenic views, it can cost more than driving especially if you book the tickets last minute. Check the current schedule of train connections here.
### Paris to Bayeux by bus
There are limited bus services from Paris to Bayeux. It is not as straightforward as train or car travel, primarily due to the lack of direct bus services between Paris and Bayeux. Instead of getting directly to Bayeux, you can first travel to Caen by train, and from Caen, you can take a bus to arrive in Bayeux.
In general, if you're already getting on a train, you might as well just take the direct one to Bayeux. Anyways, you can take a look at the bus options here.
### Paris to Bayeux by rental car
You can rent a car and drive to Bayeux by mainly following the A13 motorway. The trip takes around three hours depending on traffic and the exact starting point in Paris. While it is a flexible option in terms of schedule and exploration, it can be stressful.
If you go for this option, make sure youâre familiar with French driving laws and have a valid driving license, and take into account the costs of fuel, tolls, and rental fees.
### Paris to Bayeux by private car transfer
Booking a private car service like Daytrip is the most convenient option to get from Paris to Bayeux. Your driver will pick you up from your door in Paris and take you to the exact dropoff location in Bayeux. Since Daytrip drivers speak English, you can talk about local history and culture. And even better, you can stop for sightseeing to really enrich your travel day!
The only thing you need to do is to book your trip, add your stops to the itinerary, and then lean back and enjoy the views the French countryside will offer. Depending on the number of people you're traveling with, the trip starts at $95 per person.
Things to do when you get to Bayeux
After a comfy ride from Paris to Bayeux, youâll arrive in a remarkably historical town. Although it is small, it offers a variety of interesting things to do and explore.
Meet the extraordinary Bayeux Tapestry
The star attraction of Bayeux is the Bayeux Tapestry, an 11th-century embroidered cloth nearly 230 ft (70 meters) long, which narrates the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England. It is displayed in the Musee de la Tapisserie de Bayeux and offers a unique glimpse into medieval history. Keep an eye out for the appearance of Halley's Comet!
### Visit the grand Notre-Dame Cathedral
A perfect example of Norman-Romanesque and Gothic architecture, the Bayeaux Cathedral was likely the original home of the Bayeux Tapestry. Consecrated in 1077 in the presence of William the Conqueror, it features magnificently detailed carvings, stained glass windows, and a serene atmosphere. If you happen to visit during the Medieval Festival of Bayeux, youâll be greeted with a market set up around the cathedral. Learn more about the festival here.
### Dive more into the Medieval times
Bayeuxâs medieval center is remarkably well preserved with half-timbered houses that will transport you back in time. Walking through the town, you can explore small shops selling local crafts and specialties under the relaxed atmosphere of the town.
Donât forget to visit other museums and cultural sites for more historical time, including the Battle of Normandy Memorial Museum and the Art and History Baron Gerard Museum showcasing fine arts and local history.
### Enjoy the natural beauty and culinary delights
Bayeux serves as a gateway to the Normandy beaches which are famous as the sites of the D-Day landings. Take Bayeux as your base to explore Normandyâs countryside, and other nearby attractions like Mont Saint-Michel.
Enjoy the regionâs cuisine rich with dairy products, seafood, and the famous Normandy cider and Calvados, which is an apple brandy. Make sure to have dinner at La Rapiere, Bayeuxâs Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant!
When is the best time to visit Bayeux
When to travel from Paris to Bayeux depends on the type of weather you enjoy, your interest in local events, and your tolerance for tourist crowds. As with most of Europe, the most comfortable time to visit is generally from late spring through early fall, especially between May and September. During these months, the weather is simply at its best for exploring Bayeux and the surrounding Normandy region.
The warm temperatures make it ideal for outdoor activities. Additionally, summer months are packed with cultural events, local festivals, and commemorations. Beware of July and Augustâs popularity among tourists, making them the peak travel time. Spring and fall can have more unpredictable weather conditions but you'll have fewer crowds to contend with and better prices on accommodation.

âJag anvĂ€nde denna tjĂ€nst för en transfer frĂ„n Split i Kroatien till Perast i Montenegro. Min upplevelse var exceptionell. Min chaufför Bojan var hjĂ€lpsam, informativ och sĂ„g till att min resa var bekvĂ€m och trevlig. Jag rekommenderar starkt denna tjĂ€nst.â
âVi var mycket nöjda med kvaliteten pĂ„ den service vi fick frĂ„n Day Trip. Vi hade tvĂ„ resor med Day Trip: den 31 augusti frĂ„n Aten till Lefkada och den 7 september frĂ„n Lefkada tillbaka till Aten. BĂ„da resorna inkluderade stopp vid natursköna platser i Grekland. BĂ„da förarna var utmĂ€rkta och tillmötesgĂ„ende. Vi vill dock sĂ€rskilt uppmĂ€rksamma Panos Peppas, som var vĂ„r förare frĂ„n Lefkada till Aten. Panos var otroligt trevlig och behaglig och levererade enastĂ„ende kundservice, som inkluderade att han tog hand om allt vĂ„rt bagage, gav oss kallt vatten under hela resan, försĂ„g oss med proteinbars, gav oss tryckt material om Korintkanalen (ett av de natursköna stoppen), tog reda pĂ„ och gav oss terminal- och gateinformation för vĂ„rt flyg hem, samt gav oss ett recept pĂ„ tzatziki.â

âVi Ă€lskar verkligen det hĂ€r företaget och har anvĂ€nt det mĂ„nga gĂ„nger genom Ă„ren för att ta oss frĂ„n A till B utan krĂ„nglet med att hyra bil sjĂ€lva. UtmĂ€rkta chaufförer varje gĂ„ng. Effektiva och professionella. Det Ă€r vĂ€rt varenda krona, och vi rekommenderar Ă€rligt Day Trip till alla. Deras femstjĂ€rniga betyg Ă€r vĂ€lförtjĂ€nt.â
âVi reste frĂ„n NĂŒrnberg till MĂŒnchen i en vacker Audi. Chauffören hĂ€mtade oss pĂ„ vĂ„rt hotell exakt vid den begĂ€rda tiden. Han fick oss till MĂŒnchen i god tid för vĂ„r nĂ€sta tur. Chauffören sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt.â
âGonzalo frĂ„n Daytrip var vĂ„r chaufför och han var helt fantastisk. Han gjorde allt för att hitta oss eftersom vĂ„r mobiltĂ€ckning var dĂ„lig. Han vĂ€ntade tĂ„lmodigt i lobbyn tills vi kom, sĂ„ att han kunde köra oss frĂ„n Tulum Dreams Resort till vĂ„rt andra hotell i CancĂșn, en och en halv timme bort nĂ€ra flygplatsen inför vĂ„r hemresa. Han var artig, respektfull och vĂ€nlig. Han sĂ„g till att vi hade det bekvĂ€mt under hela resan. Snabb och effektiv. Jag rekommenderar detta företag eftersom det inte Ă€r lĂ€tt eller billigt att hitta en enkelresa frĂ„n Tulum till CancĂșn, och detta företag erbjuder en utmĂ€rkt tjĂ€nst till ett bra pris. Jag kommer definitivt att anvĂ€nda dem igen nĂ€r jag Ă€r i omrĂ„det CancĂșn/Tulum. Tack DayTrip och Gonzalo.â
âMin resa frĂ„n Paris till Bayeux, via Versailles, med Sorina var fantastisk. Hon var konstant i kontakt med oss, sĂ„ att hitta henne var aldrig ett problem. Hon var hĂ€rlig och vi hade en underbar upplevelse. Jag har sedan rekommenderat Daytrip (och sĂ€rskilt Sorina) till nĂ„gra av mina vĂ€nner som kommer att resa inom de kommande veckorna. Ă terigen, tack för att ni Ă€r ett pĂ„litligt företag och för att ni gav oss en fantastisk förare som Sorina.â
âZack was our driver both to and from Paris/Bayeux and both trips were perfect. Timeliness was spot onĂąâŹÂŠ car was clean and comfortable. Zack was the consummate professional. He set the music and tone and his Wi-Fi hot spot was just the ticket as we made last minute decisions in stops. We knew trying to fit in a quick jaunt to Normandy was going to be tight on our schedule. We ended up having it all come together and ZackĂąâŹâąs driving let us relax and just enjoy the time.â
âMydaytrip provided transportation between Paris and Bayeux for our party of 6. Service was prompt, responsive and safe. Having just arrived in France, the outbound driver as a bonus gave us a helpful orientation to what we were seeing as we drove through the countryside. He also helped us communicate more effectively at the rental car center in Bayeux. On the trip back to Paris, that driver also helped with the rental car return transaction and then expertly navigated through the streets of Bayeux to an arranged stop to see the Tapestry. On the way back to Paris, he also accommodated us with a stop at a roadside plaza for a bite to eat. All in all, the Team Day Trip transportation was a great plus for our trip, affording us cost effective and efficient transportation from and to Paris for our stay in Normandy.â
âIt was wonderful. Our driver, Faycel, was prompt, courteous and friendly, and very patient with our rusty French. I would not hesitate to use your service again. Thank you.

âVi bokade Daytrip frĂ„n Bayeux, Frankrike till Paris den 15 september 2023. VĂ„r förare var pĂ„ plats i tid (tidigare) och vi var inte riktigt redo. Vi skyndade oss och hade en perfekt resa till vĂ„rt första stopp i Caen. Vi hade tid att promenera och ta en vĂ€lbehövlig frukost innan vi lastade in och Ă„kte vidare till Rouen för ytterligare ett perfekt stopp. DĂ€rifrĂ„n Ă„kte vi till Giverny och njöt nĂ€stan tvĂ„ timmar dĂ€r. VĂ„r förare var tĂ„lmodig och sĂ„g till att vi alla visste var vi skulle mötas. Efter det stoppet Ă„kte vi in till Paris utan problem. Jag skulle göra detta igen pĂ„ ett ögonblick. Det var bara perfekt. Tack, DayTrip!â
