Couvent des Récollets, Ciboure, Franciscan convent on a peninsula between ports in Ciboure, France
The convent stands on a strategic position overlooking both Ciboure and Saint-Jean-de-Luz ports, featuring eighteen arched arcades in its central cloister point.
Established between 1611 and 1613 by Franciscan Récollets monks, the convent served as a mediator to resolve conflicts about port rights between two parishes.
The convent chapel has been transformed into an auditorium, while the west wing houses a center dedicated to architectural and heritage discovery.
Located at 1 place des Récollets in Ciboure, the convent offers guided tours, temporary exhibitions, and children workshops for 4 euros per adult.
During renovation works in 2023, workers discovered original 17th-century wall paintings and inscriptions in the former library section.
