Bayonne Heritage Sites

Bayonne’s historic landscape is defined by its diverse architectural layers, from the 13th-century Gothic Cathédrale Sainte-Marie to the defensive fortifications of Château-Vieux and Château-Neuf. This collection highlights the city's evolution, featuring the Sephardic Jewish heritage preserved in the ritual baths of Saint-Esprit and well-preserved timber-framed residences like Maison Saubist and Maison Lapeyre.
