Bayonne is a beautiful walled city, close to the Atlantic coast. Much of the charm of the city comes from the large ramparts that have been constructed around most of the central areas. Designed by Vauban, one of the most famous military architects ever to have live, the ramparts are tall and imposing over the community. One of the best ways to see the city and get your bearings, as well as view the surrounding countryside is to take a stroll around one of the sections of the walls.
