Bayonne Sights

  1. Musée Basque et de l'Histoire de Bayonne

    The Musée Basque et de l'Histoire de Bayonne is a must if you want to get under the skin of the unique Basque people. There's a reconstructed farm and interior of a typical etxe, or home, and plenty on Basque fisherfolk, pastoralists and popular traditions. You'll also learn lots about Bayonne, French Basque Country's prime fishing port and maritime window on the wider world.

  2. Musée Bonnat

    Musée Bonnat, more art gallery than museum, contains a multitude of treasures, including canvases by El Greco, Goya, Ingres and Degas, and a roomful of works by Rubens. A combined ticket admits you to both the Musée Basque and Musée Bonnat.
