THE HOTEL
Le Clos de la Chapelle
In the heart of Bayeux town center, less than 500 meters from emblematic places such as the Baron Gérard Museum of Art and History, the Lace Museum and Bayeux Cathedral, Le Clos de la Chapelle will immerse you into history during your stay.
In this historic part of the town, where craftsmen and merchants once lived, you will find this charming residence which is said to have been the home of prosperous tanners. Today, the fully renovated property offers beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, with the former Chapel at the back of a sheltered courtyard as its masterpiece.
With a unique design, Le Clos de la Chapelle blends 15th century medieval with 18th century bourgeois architecture.
Rue Saint Jean, where this exceptional residence is located, is a must-see because of its « old town » atmosphere, its buildings, some of which date back to the 15th century, and its plentiful shops and restaurants.
Take benefit of its relaxation area to unwind in a spirit of release and well-being.
With us, you will never have the feeling of déjà vu.

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…

Tom Walker2023-08-23Our 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.
Callum2023-07-25A delightful hotel run by the nicest couple. An exceptional location, lovely room, and fantastic food and coffee on site - it really made our holiday.
Halema Wali2023-05-29What 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!
Ray S2023-02-10This 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.
Krista Diaz2022-12-31We had a lovely stay at Le Clos de la Chapelle. It felt like our own little oasis in Bayeux, while still being close to great restaurants, shopping, and the city center. We will definitely be staying here again the next time we are in Bayeux!
Fiach OBroin2022-10-08Le Clos de La Chapelle is an excellent establishment and we very much enjoyed our stay there. The proprietors, Selma and Gregory, are charming hosts and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be returning on our next visit to Bayeux!
Camille desjardins2022-08-24Petit coin de paradis en plein centre de Bayeux, près des commerces, des bars et restaurants. Hôteliers accueillant, chaleureux et bienveillants aux conforts des clients. Maison lumineuse, dans un cadre dépaysant avec des espaces collectifs en extérieur. Chambre atypique et originale. Je recommande la chambre jungle louée par Grégorie loué sur rbnb.

A PLACE OF SERENITY
