We are flying in from the US and planning to take the train from Paris to Bayeux. We would like to stay in a nice hotel (2 nights) close to the train station (if this is even possible) and also one that would allow us to walk to the parking/meeting area to start our full day tour. The parking area is listed as "Parking Québec-Orangerie, Pl. du Québec, Bayeux, Normandie, France". Is all of this possible? I've reviewed some hotel recommendations for the area based on a review of the message boards (Hotel Tardif is one of them) but due to our unfamiliarity of the area it's difficult to figure out the proximity of these locations. Thank you.

There are lots of hotels close to the rendezvous point. Have you tried Google maps? My husband and I walked from the train station to Manoir St Victoire (more of a bed and breakfast) and to the rendezvous point and everywhere else in Bayeux. That's the meeting point for all their bus tours. But it's really close to hotel Churchill and Reine Mathilde and many others.

Go to the tourist bureau website and it has a town map online. bayeux-bessin-tourisme.com/en/brochures. You will see a map of Bayeux. Click on it to enlarge and you can download it. The town central is compact. Try Booking.com to find lodgings and they always have a map option to see where a place is. When you have some ideas for lodgings, come back to the forum with them and you may get some opinions about them on the forum. Not always necessary to go through Booking.com, but they have reliable info and maps to suss out proximity to stations, etc. Also, the group you booked your tour with should be able to answer your questions about proximity of hotel to pick-up location for the tour.
