Église Saint Laurent, Cambo-les-Bains

Saint Laurent Church features a single nave ending in a polygonal apse and side walls containing three levels of carved wooden galleries.

Built during the first half of the 17th century, Saint Laurent Church replaced an earlier structure from the 12th century at the same location.

The wooden galleries of the church were exclusively reserved for men until the 1960s, following local Basque tradition.

The building stands on Place de l'Église and regularly hosts religious services and Basque choir concerts throughout the year.

The baroque altarpiece created by Jean-Baptiste Dartiguecave includes Florentine ceramics donated by Edmond Rostand in 1906.
