A Gastronomy That Has Proven Itself
But Bayonne is also the temple of gastronomy, a historic city of chocolate and, of course, its famous ham, which is enjoyed in the city's bodegas. Bayonne ham is the result of millennia of craftsmanship, now found on the finest tables. Even Rabelais, Marguerite of Navarre, and Henri IV honored it when hosting distinguished guests. As for chocolate, it has a long history. In the 17th century, cocoa beans first appeared in France. At the time, it was a rare and precious drink with medicinal properties… It was in Bayonne that the first French cocoa workshops were established by Jewish, Portuguese, and Spanish artisans fleeing the Inquisition. In 1670, the word "chocolate" first appeared in the city’s archives. The city became dotted with chocolateries, and by the late 18th century, Bayonne's chocolate was being sold in Paris and across the Kingdom. In the 19th century, Bayonne became the city of chocolate for its quality and craftsmanship. This trade, which declined in the 20th century, is still present as a sweet reminder of the past.
Bayonne, a City of Art
The famous "City of Art and History" label was awarded to Bayonne in 2011, in honor of the city's rich heritage and cultural past.

By visiting the Sainte-Marie Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1998, its magnificent ramparts, the Château-Vieux, and the Basque Museum, you will take a deep dive into history.
