Bayeux Cathedral Labyrinth is a labyrinth installation in Calvados, Normandy, France. The design is a medieval chartres layout with 11 circuits, 12 walls, approximately 4 metres in diameter, built of tile. Documented age: ~1250 AD (~1250 AD). Current condition: intact. A rare surviving medieval labyrinth occupying the Chapter House floor of Bayeux Cathedral — the same cathedral complex near which the Bayeux Tapestry was likely displayed. Documentation sources: Saward 2003, Kern 2000. A pattern with one entrance, one path, and no choices — repeated by unrelated cultures across thousands of years. The labyrinth is one of several hundred sites of this type catalogued globally; each preserves the same unicursal walking-pattern with regional variation in scale, material, and date.
The labyrinth tradition spans at least 4,000 years of documented practice across northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the British Isles, North America, and the Indian subcontinent.
