Synagogue of Bayonne, Jewish temple in Saint Esprit district, Bayonne, France
The stone building features an ornate exterior with symmetrical windows and a central entrance leading to the main prayer hall for religious gatherings.
The synagogue, constructed in 1837, contains a Torah Ark dating from the reign of Louis XVI and houses Torah scrolls brought by refugees from Spain.
The congregation follows traditional Portuguese Jewish customs and maintains a connection to Sephardic heritage through ceremonies, prayers, and community gatherings.
The synagogue holds regular religious services every Saturday morning, with additional ceremonies and gatherings scheduled during Jewish holidays throughout the year.
The Jewish community introduced chocolate making to France through Gaspar Dacosta, establishing a legacy that transformed Bayonne into a chocolate production center.
