French Basque Country Tips You Must Know

• Choose hotels offering free parking if you're planning to explore remote villages by car.

• Be mindful of steep terrain in hilltop villages; confirm accessibility options if mobility is an issue.

Bayonne

Bayonne, the cultural and economic capital of French Basque Country, is famous for its colorful half-timbered houses and status as the 'birthplace of chocolate' in France, brought here in the 17th century by Jewish refugees. The Gothic-style Bayonne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site, features dramatic architecture and peaceful cloisters. Its vibrant Fêtes de Bayonne festival in late July is one of the largest in France, drawing visitors with its street parades and traditional Basque kilts.
