Sightseeing
Bayonne
Bayonne
is only 25 minutes from Capbreton. It's proximity to the Spanish
border and being in the Basque country has contributed to the creation
of this pretty and diverse city. Bayonne's history is mapped out in
various museums - ranging from chocolate through to art. The Musee
Bonnat is one of the best art galleries in the SW of France with
paintings by Degas, Goya and Botticelli. There is also a museum
dedicated to the Basque History. The Bayonnais are proud of their
heritage, and in August they hold a massive fete lasting several days.
Over Easter weekend they celebrate their love of food with a Ham
festival - which is well worth a visit!
