France - Bayeux August 2019

We arrived for a one-night stay in Bayeux for our tour of the D-day sites the next day. When we checked in to our hotel, the clerk mentioned a light show at the Cathedral that night. We didn't know what to expect but decide to check it out and we were so glad we did.

They had the cathedral lit up in red and blue lights and there were special projection lights set up around the Tree of Liberty in the cathedral's courtyard. When the show started, the lights projected pictures on the tree and there was music to go along with it. But the pictures on the tree actually moved across the trunk and the branches, it was really cool. The show lasted for about an hour I think, I was so engaged that I wasn't even thinking about anything but the show.

If you go to Bayeux, also make time to check out the tapestry museum. It's much more interesting than it sounds, believe me. Definitely worth a visit, especially if history interests you.
