or Bayonne accommodation? Bayonne lies ideally at the confluence of the Nive and Adour Rivers in the Pyrenees of South West France. In Bayonne, one can enjoy the best of both worlds as the city lies close to the border of both countries. The river Nive divides the city via a network of bridges into Grand Bayonne and Petit Bayonne.
The streets of Bayonne are lined with beautiful Basque architecture. While in Grand Bayonne, one can visit the Cathédrale Sainte-Marie, a towering but elegant 12th century Gothic building famous for its cloisters. The Château-Vieux, of a similar age is also nearby. The smaller Petit Bayonne highlights two main museums namely, the Musée Basque an exceptional ethnographic museum and the Musée Bonnat which is suitable for those especially interested in world renowned paintings. Basque pottery from Bayonne is popular in Europe. Additionally, Bayonne highlights many bars and restaurants typical of those in the Pyrenees and a breath taking botanical garden. The Citadelle distillery famous for its mind gobbling liqueur can also be visited. For sports, Bayonne is traditionally a bull fighting country and the season starts from July to September and attracts people from all avenues, with the main event being the Fetes de Bayonne in August. This exciting festivity involves parades, dances, music, food and other entertainments. Other prominent festivals include the Jazz Festival in July, Bayonne Ham or Holy Week, theatre and pelota- an interesting Basque sport. Accomodations are readily available from three stars hotels such as Best Western Grand Hotel in the Acquatine near the French Atlantic Coast modernly furnished, comfortable abodes such as Hotel Loustau which gives a panoramic view of the medeival city. - Browse the Bayonne Map or compare Bayonne accommodation from Hotels, Motels, B&Bs,
