Synagogue of Bayonne, Jewish temple in Saint Esprit district, Bayonne, France
The Synagogue of Bayonne is a stone building located in the Saint Esprit district, featuring symmetrical windows and a central entrance. Inside, the main prayer hall contains an ornate Torah Ark and sacred scrolls used for religious services.
The synagogue was built in 1837 after Jewish refugees from Spain established their community in Bayonne. The Torah Ark inside dates to the reign of Louis XVI and represents the long connection between this community and the city.
The congregation here follows Portuguese Jewish traditions that shape how services are conducted and celebrated. These customs remain part of daily worship and community life in the space.
The building hosts religious services on Saturday mornings and special ceremonies during Jewish holidays throughout the year. Check ahead about visiting hours, as access may vary depending on scheduled events and worship times.
Members of the Jewish community contributed to Bayonne becoming a chocolate production center through their early trade connections. This link between the congregation and the city's sweet trade history remains part of the local story.
