Bayonne

To get there from St. Marie, either follow the Urt route to the A64 or go up to the D817, which should be quicker. Head for the centre ville, where there are several car parks for low parking charges. This town has a large number of Basque buildings, with their characteristic red or freen painted woodwork & a large cathedral. It is on the Adour & a nice way to get to it from Urt is along the river bank, if you have time. Old Bayonne it is cut through by the River Nive (a Basque name). There are several museums worth visiting. The town web site is on this link in English.
