THE HOTEL

The suites of the Clos de la Chapelle

 Le Clos de la Chapelle is unique in that it has 4 charming suites. Each one plays on a theme, a style, a genre while being intimate, creating the atmosphere of a personal guest in a private residence.

A PLACE FULL OF HISTORY

Strolling around Bayeux

 Founded under the name of « Augustodurum » in Gallo-Roman times, the city was surrounded by ramparts in the 3rd century to protect itself from invasions. In 924, it became part of the domain of the Viking chief Rollon, the first Duke of Normandy, and after Rouen, it became the most important town in Normandy. A castle was erected in 960 by the 3rd Duke of Normandy, Richard I.

Today, the city has a medieval historic centre and architectural treasures linked to its history. In addition to its famous Romanesque and Gothic cathedral, Bayeux is also known for its half-timbered houses, mansions with towers, spacious estates and elegant town houses.

A GOURMET BREAK

Treat yourself to a gourmet break in your Selma Alabama tea room

The story begins in 2016 with the permanent idea of wanting to create a distinct and singular place in which sharing and gourmandise would be in the spotlight. As a tea lover, the creation of a tea room synonymous with relaxation and escape was an obvious choice. Selma is not only my first name but also a city in Alabama, USA, which played a major role in the civil rights struggle in the 1960s. So why not combine the two and make Selma Alabama the place to be in Bayeux?

Selma Alabama offers you the opportunity to discover new flavors by proposing healthy, homemade cuisine with rigorously selected ingredients, all in an authentic atmosphere. Breakfast, lunch, snack, brunch: everything to delight your taste buds!

Outside, two patios located on either side of the chapel allow you to enjoy the beautiful days, quietly and out of sight. The place forms an enclosure filled with serenity. Discover, Smell and Crack for our selection of loose tea specially chosen for you and that you can also buy.

Let yourself be seduced by our menu cooked every day on the spot…

Our menu is coming soon, a little more patience…

Open Tuesday to Saturday from 7:30 am to 6 pm

Sunday from 11am to 6pm Brunch and Tea Time

Address : 36 rue Saint Jean 14400 Bayeux

Tudo maravilhoso! Quartos espaçosos, cama confortável, tudo sempre limpinho!Anfitriões gentis e pro ativos, café da manhã perfeito e ideal (sem contar o capricho na preparação). O local é central e perto da cidade onde tudo acontece. O quarto com janela de frente para rua pode ser levemente barulhento a noite (nada que nos incomodou, mas vale mencionar). Tivemos que sair muito cedo pra pegar a estrada e o Gregory fez questão de preparar um café completo pra viagem! Eu nunca vi isso em lugar nenhum....e olha que eu viajo MUITO! Parabéns a toda equipe do hotel, vocês são excepcionais!!

We stayed at Le Clos de la Chapelle as it was a great location for seeing the Normandy beaches and San Saint Michel. Although, Bayeux is a great place to spend a few days without going anywhere else! Le Clos de la Chapelle is a beautiful B&B, lovingly decorated, spacious and convenient to many wonderful restaurants and shopping. What really makes it a standout though are the people who own and operate the establishment. They go above and beyond to deliver wonderful hospitality and great service. The Selma Alabama cafe provided our breakfast and it was excellent. Even if you don't stay at Le Clos de la Chapelle, stop in for brunch, a cup of tea, or a bite to eat. You won't be disappointed. If you have the opportunity to stay at the charming B&B of Gregory and Selma, take it! And hopefully, you will encounter the lovely Anna, who works at the Selma Alabama and is one of those special individuals who make travel worth the journey.

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans la magnifique suite de La Chapelle. Chambre spacieuse, bien équipée et très propre. Bien que l’hôtel soit situé dans l’une des rues les plus animées de Bayeux, il est très calme et idéalement situé à deux pas de très bons restaurants. Mention spéciale à notre hôte Gregory qui a été aux petits soins pour rendre notre séjour le plus agréable possible et à Salma pour ses petits merveilleux petits déjeuners, aussi beaux que succulents !

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!

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.

What an amazing stay here! Selma and Gregory are wonderful hosts, so kind and accommodating. The room was beautifully decorated and secluded but also right on the main road. Very clean and the bed was so comfortable. I had an early morning train and Selma and Gregory insisted they pack me a to-go latte and some pastries (it was delicious!) The best hospitality by far. I would recommend staying here, and I’ll be coming back on my next visit!

This is a really charming boutique hotel, right in the heart of historic Bayeux. Ideally situated close to great restaurants, and a short walk to the Tapestry Museum and other attractions, it is highly recommended. Selma and Gregory are wonderful hosts, and serve an excellent breakfast in their restaurant on the ground floor. We are looking forward to an opportunity to return in the future.

A PLACE OF SERENITY

Comfortable & atypical

A perfect alchemy that makes the Clos de la Chapelle a place not to be missed in the very heart of Bayeux.
