Full credit to history and fine fare

This old fortified town offers you a magnificent flashback into history.

Set out in the footsteps of Vauban along the ramparts and take time to visit the Saint Mary cathedral and the cloister.

Wander through the streets of old Bayonne and admire the waterfront of the Nive river with its half-timber built houses.

Eager to expand your knowledge?

Take a stroll through the Botanical Garden, the Plaine d'Ansot, visit the Bonnat Museum or the Basque Museum.

Have all these outings worked up your appetite?

You prefer savoury? Taste the delicious Bayonne ham.

Or sweet? A stop at the Chocolate Workshop and the Puyodebat Chocolate Museum is a must!

Why not enjoy the traditional Bayonne festival during the first week of August? Parades of brass bands, dances, bull-fights and firework displays will delight children and adults alike.
