Bayonne

Bayonne, known as Baļona in Basque, is the economic and cultural capital of the Basque Country on the French side of the Pyrenees. As it is about 6km away from the Atlantic coast, tourism has not taken such a hold on Bayonne as it has on Biarritz. The River Ardour flows east to west through the centre of town, joined by the smaller River Nive flowing north to meet the Ardour. Red and green painted houses augment the feeling that you are in Basque territory.

I have been there once on a midsummer evening. They celebrated a Basque feast and lot's of people, mostly youngsters, were on the streets yelling and singing. Great atmosphere!
