It is a perfect place to observe everyday life with locals having bubbly conversations while shopping for their favorite cheese, charcuterie or boulangerie.

Bayonne is a no. Not much to see. It is a nice city but worth the excursion. Saint John De luz and Biarritz are worth the trip. Beautiful coastal towns. Great restaurants and beaches, fun quaint shopping. Biarritz has good golf as well.
