Private chauffeur in Bayonne
The historic and cultural capital of the Basque Country, Bayonne packs its half-timbered houses between the Nive and the Adour: the Sainte-Marie cathedral and its cloister, Vauban’s ramparts, lively market halls and chocolate makers established since the 17th century. Your private chauffeur in Bayonne links Biarritz airport, the station, the arena and the coast’s tables, in a Mercedes sedan or premium van, at a fixed price confirmed at booking.
From Bayonne, the whole inland Basque Country opens up: the Nive valley towards Cambo-les-Bains and Edmond Rostand’s Villa Arnaga, Espelette and its peppers, Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port at the foot of the Compostela passes, the Irouléguy vineyards. During the Fêtes de Bayonne in late July, your chauffeur masters closures and crowds — five days of red and white without a single logistical worry.
