Points forts
Discover the charm of southern France on a walking tour of Bayonne, the historic capital of the French Basque Country and one of Aquitaine’s most fascinating cities. The guided route begins in the city center and leads you through monuments spanning centuries of history, from the Roman-era Château Vieux and the imposing Memorial to the Dead to the Gothic Cathedral of Saint Mary. Stroll along Rue Port Neuf, the famous “chocolate street,” where Sephardic Jews introduced cocoa in the 18th century, making Bayonne the birthplace of French artisan chocolate. The itinerary also includes landmarks such as the neoclassical City Hall, the Church of Saint Andrew, the Saint Esprit Bridge overlooking the citadel, and the Château Neuf, now part of the university. The experience ends at Les Halles market, where Basque gastronomy shines in typical products. Led by an expert local guide, this tour blends history, architecture, cuisine, and Basque culture in one unforgettable route.

About Bayonne
Bayonne is a Basque city where the Nive meets the Adour, known for its Gothic cathedral, cured ham, chocolate and a summer festival of white and red.
Bayonne grew where the Nive flows into the Adour, a few kilometres from the Atlantic, in the French Basque Country. The Gothic cathedral of Sainte-Marie rises over Grand Bayonne, the oldest quarter, while across the Nive the lanes of Petit Bayonne are lined with timbered houses and coloured shutters. Vauban's ramparts circle the city.
