We would like to extend our trip and go from Paris to Bayeux and tour the beaches. Any recomendations for hotels, guides?
We loved Bayeux and stayed at Hotel Reine Matilde in Sept. 2023. I would try and get a room in their annex building a few steps away from main hotel. Looked a bit more quiet. Took all day Normandy tour and loved it. Our tour guide was “Pascal”who spoke excellent English. I will look up exact name of tour company for you and post it here.
Bayeux Shuttle is who we used for Normandy D Day tour.
I also stayed in the annex of Rhein Mathilde and can recommend it
Bayeux Shuttle canceled on me the day before the tour. Luckily for me, Overlord Tours had an open spot. It turned out to be one of the best day tours I've ever taken.
I highly recommend Overlord.
Highly recommend Sylvain Kast as a guide. Very knowledgeable & personable. https://normandyguides.com/guide/sylvain-kast/
Unfortunately, the B&B where we stayed in Bayeux is no longer operating.
We highly recommend HQCompany.
I found out about them from another person on this forum.

We had a full day private tour for our group of 5.
It was one of the highlights of our trip.
We were very happy with Overlord. We did a 2 day tour with them.
I stayed at Hotel Churchill in the middle of Bayeux and used Overlord Tours for 2 tours. The first day we toured American D-day sites; the second day we went to Mont Ste Michele. I was very pleased with both the hotel and the tours. The hotel is convenient to restaurants and shops and had a huge buffet breakfast with many great choices. The tours left from the parking lot behind the hotel so it was very convenient. I didn't have a car; I took a train from Paris.
