Rue Port Neuf, Pedestrian street in Old Town Bayonne, France

The Rue Port Neuf features stone-paved paths lined with traditional Basque houses displaying half-timbered facades and wooden balconies in contrasting colors.

During medieval times, this street functioned as an inland port where ships would dock directly against the city walls for trading purposes.

Local artisans maintain workshops in the arcade-supported buildings, continuing centuries-old traditions of craftsmanship in leather, textiles, and regional specialties.

The street connects the Cathedral district to the Nive River, providing direct access to numerous independent shops, cafes, and traditional bakeries.

The houses along Rue Port Neuf stand on wooden stilts, a construction method dating back to when the street was a water canal.
