The Bayonne City Guides tackle what every visitor wonders: where to find an honest Basque lunch menu, which chocolate house deserves your morning, how to cover the ramparts and both banks of the Nive on foot, and which beaches and Basque villages sit an easy train ride away. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and a practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Chocolat Cazenave
Under the arcades, Rue Port-Neuf
A chocolatier at work since 1854, with a quiet Belle Époque tea room at the back. Order the chocolat mousseux, whipped until foamy and served with buttered toast. From the food guide.
Remparts de Bayonne
Allée Catherine de Bourbon, Grand Bayonne
Vauban’s fortifications wrapped in grassy moats you can stroll along and through, with benches, birdsong and views back over the old town. The loop is free and takes under an hour. From the things to do guide.
Grande Plage
Saint-Jean-de-Luz, about 25 min by TER
A curved bay sheltered by sea walls, so the water stays calm enough for children and nervous swimmers, with the town’s shops and cafés right behind the sand. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Bayonne
Day one: start with hot chocolate under the arcades, see the cathedral and its cloister, walk the ramparts, then cross the Nive to the Musée Basque and end with pintxos on the quays. Day two: take the coastal train to Saint-Jean-de-Luz or Guéthary, or head inland to La Rhune, and come back for a late drink in Petit Bayonne. On a rainy or slow day, combine the covered market, a ham-curing visit, the chocolate museum and an evening at a tiny cabaret stage.
