Le Clos de la Chapelle Bayeux

We had such a wonderful stay at Le Clos de la Chapelle in Bayeux. Such a charming inn! And what a fantastic location right on Rue Saint-Jean in the heart of Bayeux. There are so many great shops and restaurants just steps away from the inn. But the best part of our stay was the amazing hospitality from our hosts, Gregory and Selma. They were so gracious and friendly and incredibly helpful. We were in Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-day and had tickets to the commemoration event at the American Cemetery. We had pre-reserved an Uber to get us to the meeting point but on the morning of the event, our Uber was cancelled. Though my husband speaks some French, we weren’t familiar with how to get a taxi and with the driving restrictions that day, we weren’t having any luck getting transportation. It was just before 7:00am and Gregory saw us outside and stopped what he was doing to help us out. He made some calls for us and with persistence was able to get us a taxi. He really went out of his way to help us get there so we could be at such an amazing event. That was just an example of the wonderful service Gregory and Selma provide at their beautiful B&B. And, last but not least, is the fantastic cafe they run, Selma Alabama, below the inn. Breakfast is included with the stay and we loved the meals we had each morning, as well as some beautiful pastries made on site each day. We really couldn’t have had a better stay in Bayeux. We’re lucky to have found this charming B&B and hope to go back soon. Thank you Gregory & Selma! Fina & Jason Johnson

My husband and I spent four nights at this lovely Bed and Breakfast and absolutely did not want to leave! Our visit was perfect in every way. We stayed in the beautiful La Chapelle Suite and it was extremely comfortable. The bed was amazing! For being in the center of town, it was so, so quiet and peaceful. We did not hear a sound during the night, which was wonderful. Breakfast was scrumptious! Now that we are back home in San Diego, my husband comments every morning that he misses Selma’s French Eggs. We loved waking and going downstairs and being greeted by Selma and Gregory. They are absolutely the sweetest people and were so attentive in making our visit magical. Gregory made our dinner reservations ahead of our arrival at four delightful restaurants. Every night was a culinary treat! We will definitely be staying with them upon return trips to Bayeux!

We recently spent three nights in Bayeux at Le Clos de la Chapelle while we visited the WWII D-Day beaches and the Bayeux Tapestry. We arrived rather late in the evening, but Gregory and Selma were there to enthusiastically greet us and show us to our very cozy room! Each morning we had a lovely breakfast served with fresh croissants, eggs, fruit and yogurt and wonderful coffee. The B&B is so centrally located that we were able to see so much of the area in our very short stay. Gregory and Selma went out of their way to make us feel welcome, even in the midst of the final stages of opening for their attached tea room (Selma Alabama). They are such a lovely couple and we wish them all the best in their expanded business. We look forward to returning to see the finished cafe and additional accommodations!

Our stay at Le Clos de la Chapelle exceeded our expectations. The hosts, Selma and Gregory are the best! They are thoughtful. Accommodating. Hard working. And great cooks. If you are looking for Selma it is easy to find her - look for the happiest person around, with the friendliest smile.
