Cheap Car Rental Bayonne

Bayonne is located in the southwestern corner of France in the French part of the Basque country where the two rivers, Adour and Nive, come to meet. For a small city with only around forty thousand residents you can find an unusually high density of places that are worth seeing. The city became rich through overseas trading and by trading with the nearby Spain. Get your rental car to experience memorable vacation. That is why the inhabitants could afford some cultural treasures that are still to be seen today. The Cathedral of Bayonne, for example, is an absolute "must see" in the region and is the trademark of the city. Built in the 12th century, this house of God is impressive with its Gothic cloister, its mighty twin towers and elaborate interior decorations. A tour that goes through Bayonne to the museum Musée Bonnat will continue along those artistic lines. Thousands of artworks originating from the antiquity to modern times await visitors to marvel it all and there are even many works from well known old masters on display. It is a museum that would easily and gladly fit into a big city.  Drive with your car rental and discover the landscape.


If you have always wanted to learn more about the Basque people, then you just have to make a trip to the Basque Museum.  The history of the Basque region is documented here in a descriptive way and the exhibits display costumes, sports, music and crafts. With your car rental, enjoy your freedom.

Afterwards you can continue with a stroll through the old town. By wandering along the winding alleyways and past old buildings you will come across all kinds of traces of the gold past of the city.  Here you can find the one restaurant or the other in case you get hungry along the way. Highly recommended is, of course, fresh fish from the nearby Atlantic. There Moronidae and Dorados swim around directly on the coast and then land on a plate in Bayonne with all kinds of vegetables and salads. Typical for this region is also a garlic soup and the famous “Cèpes à la Bordelaise", which is porcini mushrooms fried in oil with parsley, garlic and grape juice. Of course you can not forget the excellent wines of the vineyards around St-Étienne-de-Baigorry and Salies-de-Béarn that are located at the gates of the city.  What more could your heart desire? For the thousand steps that you should take after such a meal, a walk along the old riverside quays of the Nive is highly recommended. You will walk past many old houses with colorful shops which give it the atmosphere and makes it romantic. Book your car rental and discover the area.

All festival fans pay attention now! The five day party Fêtes de Bayonne, that takes place in Bayonne, begins on the first Wednesday in August. It is a wild party with bulls running through the city, live music, dancing and a great feast. The Fêtes de Bayonne is one of the biggest festivals in the Basque region.  

After a party like that – and of course the cultural program, you might feel like just lying around and relaxing. This is not a problem, because the beautiful beaches that run along the Atlantic coastline are not far away. 

Be an independent traveler thanks to your rental car.
