Day 4 :
Excursion to BAYONNE (B)
Today excursion to Bayonne, the Basque Country capital. We
begin this morning with a visit of the Musee Bonnat
and the Musee Basque for a fascinating insight into
local customs. The rest of the day is free to explore the
capital of the Basque country independently. The
characteristic arcades and the facades of the stone and
half-timbered houses hide treasures such as magnificent
stairways with wrought iron balconies. Be sure to visit both
Grand Bayonne, on the westbank, where you will discover the
Sainte-Marie cathedral, and Petit Bayonne, on the
eastbank of the Nive tributary, which is arguably the more
authentic part of town.
Night in Biarritz.

Certainly one of the highlights of the week! Your day will

located in the city of Bilbao. Conceived by US architect
Franck O. Gehry, the museum possesses one of the most
important collections of XXth century art. After the visit
and some time in Bilbao, we will return via San Sebastian,
the Spanish equivalent to Biarritz. You will certainly be
happily surprised as you are immersed in the heart of the
Old city where “Tapas” are the main attraction.
