The Bayeux Tapestry won't be coming across this week due to big protests in France.
😢

I'd hide it away somewhere safe in a French château until the strikes are over (if ever), and the Bayeux building is finished!

I'm with Sago we saw it a couple of years ago. I'm also obviously a bit of a philistine but tbh I found it a bit boring too. The colours have lost their vibrancy (of course, it's very old), the line of people moved very slowly tbh once you've seen one embroidered soldier with a bow and arrow, you've probably decided not to do embroidery! We had a lovely lunch though!
