In the heart of the Cote Basque - Bayonne

I like Bayonne! It is not as ritzy and glamorous as Biarritz, or has a nice sandy beach like St. Jean du luz. I can take a stroll along the two rivers, or in one of the many gardens. The town has a lot of characters. Do not forget to try out the chocolate and ham. There are a lot of restaurants and pastry shops all over town. Every August, they even have bullfights (do they kill the bulls in France?).
