Around Bayonne

A day trip by bus (from Biarritz) to see the historic Basque city of Bayonne! Such lovely architecture! So very different from Biarritz!

Did quite a bit of walking around, admiring the town, but eventually made it to the Musée Basque et l'Histoire du Bayonne, which was very interesting. Bordeaux was part of ancient Aquitaine, Bayonne part of Basque country, which really gives the two regions very different cultures and feels.
