If you want to know what makes a Bayonne vacation rental so unique, you'll want to hit up the Basque Museum in the Petit Bayonne neighborhood, and maybe take in some classical art at the Bonnat Museum while you're there. For sweet treats, head over to the little chocolate museum at the Atelier du Chocolat factory. Unfortunately, a lot of Bayonne's most impressive buildings aren't open to the public, but one that should definitely be on your list is the magnificent cathedral. Finished in the 1400s, it's older than some countries, and boasts some amazing stained glass windows.
When it comes to the sights, sounds, and smells of Bayonne, it's difficult to know where to start. Each of the 3 main neighborhoods has its own charm, and a Bayonne vacation rental has something for everyone. Head straight for the architectural big hitters like the castles and cathedral, or browse around the delicacies at the indoor and outdoor markets. To taste some of Bayonne's legendary chocolate, head to the old Gascon and Jewish neighborhood of Saint-Esprit. And if you fancy getting some sun with the beautiful people, super-chic beach resort, Biarritz, is just down the road.
The weather out here is defined by two things, and they're not necessarily the bedfellows you'd expect. Hot sun, and heavy rain. Bayonne's swanky neighbor, Biarritz, has a killer reputation as one of France's most high-end beach resorts, and it wouldn't be up there without some scorching sunshine to bronze those bodies. But the area also gets a whole lot of rain, often in the form of thunderstorms that empty the skies out dramatically for a few minutes before the sun comes out again. Winters, as you might expect, are pretty mild, with minimal snow.
Bayonne is hacked up into 3 districts by the Adour and Nive rivers, and though it's inland, the Atlantic coast is barely a 15-minute drive away. This bottom lefthand corner of France, just near the Spanish border, might seem pretty flat, but venture an hour or so to the southeast and you're into the Pyrenees mountains. Head north from Bayonne, and you'll quickly find yourself in one of the largest pine forests in Europe, the Landes forest. Coast, mountains, forests, plains - it's all within striking distance, though chances are you'll struggle to tear yourself away from Bayonne.
The nearest airport is in Biarritz (BIQ-Pays Basque), located 3.2 mi (5.2 km) from the city center. If you can't find a flight that works for your travel itinerary, you could also fly into San Sebastian (EAS), which is 18.4 mi (29.6 km) away.
If you're traveling by train, the main station is Bayonne Station.
