Bayonne, Ibardin

Bayonne, City of Art and History: the soaring Gothic cathedral and its 14th-century cloister, the picturesque streets with their medieval arcades, the ramparts designed by Vauban, and the legendary chocolate shops that made Bayonne the chocolate capital of France. At the Ibai Alde cannery, a tasting of Basque regional specialities.
