About this property

Studio St Jean is a ground floor studio apartment for A MAXIMUM OF 2 people in a 400 year old building in the heart of the medieval town of Bayeux.

This is a perfect location for anyone booked onto a D-Day tour of the Normandy beaches or a shuttle bus service to Mont St Michel as all tours leave from Place de Quebec which is less than a 2 MINUTE WALK from the apartment.

The studio has been remodelled over the winter of 2022/23 with new wooden flooring and a new king sized bed, a comfortable sofa, free wifi, TV, a dining table with dining chairs, a fully fitted kitchen area with hob, sink, microwave/oven/grill and fridge with freezer compartment. There is also a new shower room/WC with extra large shower cubicle. The studio overlooks a private courtyard which guests are welcome to use with the café set of table and chairs that are stored in the studio.

Although the studio is on one of the main streets of Bayeux the double locked door entry means that you get no traffic noise from the street, just the occasional seagull to remind you that you are only 5 miles from the beach.

Rue St Jean is a very up and coming part of Bayeux with a real village feel to it. There are many new boutique type shops, restaurants, bars, cafés, beauticians and hairdressers all within a five minute walk and on Wednesday mornings there is a great street market. Just around the corner, about 150 metres is a laundromat.The road is closed to traffic from 1 June to 1 September. On Saturday the main market is held in Place St Patrice, which is less than a 10 minutes walk. The UNESCO listed Bayeux tapestry is housed in a building less than 5 minutes walk away and the incredible medieval cathedral is a similar distance and there is a bike hire shop less than 50 metres away and the area around Bayeux is mostly flat. The railyway station is only a ten minute walk or a short taxi rid. In short, there is no real need to hire a car whilst you are in Bayeux but should you wish to do so, there is plenty of safe parking within less than 5 minutes of the studio.

The train from Paris takes 2 hours and there are frequent trains to Caen, which is only a 17 minute train journey.

Normandy mini stay

Great studio right on the Main Street for restaurants in Bayeaux. Short walk to laundromat and the tour pick ups if you need. Car park is a short walk and studio has all that 2 people would need. Bed is comfy and large. Street noise is very minimal even given the location. Sally was readily contactable. We were very happy.

Right in the centre of the lovely little town of Bayeux, within walking distance of local attraction

The only thing to remember when travelling throughout France is a lot of shops open around 10am and some shops close for lunch. Some shops aren’t open on a sunday., and some close halfday on a saturday. I’d suggest planning your trip around this, as if in a self contained apartment you may find the little supermarket a couple of doors up closed...so no food😳 Great pattiseries along the main street.

About the host

Hosted by Sally Byrne

Michael and I are an Anglo/Irish couple who grew up 20 miles north of London, where we worked for many years. We moved to Normandy in 2003 and ran an award-winning B&B for 13 years but recently saw the need for more short-term self-catering accommodation in the highly popular town of Bayeux.

Why they chose this property

Bayeux has always been one of our favourite towns so it was an easy decision to buy and renovate Studio St Jean in late 2014 when it came on the market. Since it's opening in May 2015 it has been full for 80% of the time, with some wonderful feedback from our guests.

What makes this property unique

Studio St Jean is located in one of the oldest streets in Bayeux, right in the heart of all the shops, restaurants and bars, with a fantastic market every Wednesday morning. We love that it is right in the centre of everything and yet, because it has a closed entrance it is still as peaceful and quiet as if it were out in the country.
