Two rivers run through it: Bayonne, French Basque country

Fantastic!

Thanks for sharing this walk by the river; it reminds me of both Girona and the part of Reno by the Truckee River :-)

Merci! So nice to see the homes in Grand Bayonne warmed up by the sun!

A pretty sight, isn't it?

You never disappoint! Although I was very sad that our trip to France got canceled, I have been able to see so much more than we would have on our trip. Now, when we are able to go, 🤞July 2021,I will know so much about France thanks to you! I will be joining you as a patron very soon and hopefully do a tour with you too!

Merci. You win "Best Comment" as I wake up in Bayonne. :-) A bientôt.

Bonjour Véro, my wife and I have lived here for 14 years and my understanding of why the buildings were built so high is because as a walled city, the only space available was by going straight up - as in Manhattan. Building outside the city walls was not permitted for many years.

Bonjour Pip. Thank you for the input!

DId you do your travels from Brittany to here all on public transportation? Charming city.

[@francewithvero]

Bonjour. Yes, I used mostly public transportation, with the exception of a visit to Quimper where I traveled by car. I recommend driving to visit Brittany, however.
