Bayonne

We first visited Bayonne many years ago with memories of ‘La Fête’, complete with running of the bulls and several days and nights of festivities.

Gateway to the old town from ‘le jardin botanique’

The cathedral spire photobombing a typical apartment block (more of the cathedral next time)

One of the towers of the old château 

We were lucky that it wasn’t too crowded 

This building existed in the sixteen hundreds

The information panel says, ‘This building is a “survivor” of Bayonne’s housing dating back to 1690 when there would have been 650 such houses. It has admittedly lost its corbel and wooden window frames, but it still has its gabled façade overlooking the street and most of the original wooden sections in the form of the cross of Saint-Andrew’
