A very striking half-timbered house, fits nicely into the little street.

The Maison à pans de bois de la rue des Cuisiniers is a famous medieval half-timbered building located in Bayeux, Normandy. Dating from the 14th and 15th centuries, it features an overhanging structure and remarkably well-preserved wooden facades. Located in the most authentic and medieval district of the city, the eponymous street was historically the haunt of the cooks' and roasters' guilds. The historic building has had many lives: it successively housed a shop, an inn, a restaurant called Le Loge à pieds (until the early 20th century), and even served as a tourist office.

Nowadays, very few mills are still in operation in their original function, but they appear to hikers and cyclists along the river as technical and historical monuments of an ancient craft tradition: solely through human ingenuity and the natural power of flowing water as driving energy, the heavy millstones inside were moved and thus, for example, grain kernels could be ground into flour (so-called grain mills) or oil could be pressed from fruits (e.g. olives) (so-called oil mills).
