Discover Bayona

Bayonne (Bayonne in French), the vibrant capital of the French Basque Country, is an important starting point for pilgrims who begin their journey to Santiago from France. From here, two historical routes depart: the Bayonne Way (branch of the Vasco Interior Camino) and the Baztán Way. The city, situated at the confluence of the Nive and Adour rivers, boasts a beautiful old town with its colorful wooden-framed houses, lively streets, and medieval walls. The Gothic Sainte-Marie Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the context of French Camino de Santiago routes, is the spiritual hub of the pilgrimage. Before departing, pilgrims can enjoy the city's rich gastronomy, famous for its ham and chocolate. Bayonne offers a complete range of services, including hostels and everything needed to prepare for crossing the Pyrenees. Starting here is to immerse oneself in a unique culture, Basco-French, and choose between two distinct adventures to enter Spain, an experience that is culturally rich and stimulating.
