Bayeaux Cathedral

Waiting for the showing inside the Cathedral.
2016 is the 950th anniversary William the Conqueror taking over England.  The Bayeaux Cathedral had a marvelous lighted celebration of the occasion.  The walls of the Cathedral were illuminated with the Bayeax Tapestry as it would have originally hung.
The sign let us know we were in the right place.

We waiting in line in the cold for a couple of hours to be admitted into the Cathedral; well worth the wait.  Everyone in line seemed to be locals, except for us.  The mood was festive, with smiles and happy faces all around.






Different views of the Tapestry as it moved around the Cathedral.
After the showing, we looked at some of the lighted Christmas decorations, but we didn't stay long as it was cold!
