The capital of the French Basque Country, Bayonne is home to chocolatiers and the famous Bayonne ham which is seasoned with dried red pepper from nearby Espelette. Located at the confluence of the Nive and Adour rivers, Bayonne has narrow, cobblestone streets lined with shops, cafes, and pretty half-timbered buildings.
