Bayonne, Historic port city in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France
The city stands at the meeting point of the Nive and Adour rivers, featuring ramparts, narrow streets, and traditional Basque-style buildings with timber frames.
Established in 950 on Roman ruins, Bayonne developed as a maritime center under English rule from 1155 to 1451 when it became part of France.
The Gothic Cathedral of Sainte-Marie dominates the city center with its twin spires, displaying architectural elements from the 13th through 17th centuries.
The covered market Les Halles offers fresh regional products, while the surrounding streets contain numerous shops selling local specialties including Bayonne ham.
The city maintains strong connections to both Basque and Gascon cultures, evident in its bilingual street signs, regional architecture, and traditional festivals.
