Bayonne, an urban gem in the French Way of St. James

Bayonne is an urban gem located on the shores of the Bay of Basque, close to the Pyrenees in the French Basque Country.
It is one of the largest cities of the region of Aquitaine and it's also one of the most beautiful, located at the confluence of the Nive and Adour rivers.
Bayonne Cathedral known as The Saint Mary's Cathedral is an elegant Gothic building, constructed in the 13th century and it was named one of UNESCO's World Heritage Sites, like a monument that integrates the French Way of St. James.
Another monument is the Old Castle in the city center. The Old Castle construction began in the 11th century on the location of the Roman castrum and was finally finished six centuries later.
The medieval layout in it's narrow streets is appreciated. A lovely detail is that we can't see in the building's front a single cable.
This city with more than a quarter of a million inhabitants is a neat and charming French city.
