Bayonne

The best time to visit Bayonne is during the summer months (June to August) for warm weather and the Bayonne Festival. However, spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) offer pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds.

You should try Bayonne ham, a local delicacy, along with Basque cake (gâteau basque), and the fresh produce available at Les Halles market. Also, don't miss the opportunity to sample local cheeses and wines.

Bayonne is a walkable city, especially the historic center. Public transportation, including buses, is available. Renting a car is convenient for exploring the surrounding areas, including Biarritz and the Basque coast.
