Les Fetes De Bayonne – We’re experts at Bayonne Festival, having partied with the French since our first days during this a part of the planet , way too many moons ago, and there’ll be no shortage of party animals to point out you the ropes – we all love this festival from rock bottom of our livers.
Includes a gorgeous accommodation, breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, experienced guides, transfers to and from Bayonne and one hell of an experience! Inspired by San Fermin (Running of the Bulls) in Spain, to the extent that they even copied the official outfit…Les Fetes de Bayonne’s party-goers wear all white with a red scarf and a red belt. The bulls even make an appearance during the festival. If you dare, you’ll jump into the ring with them, although the most aim is to urge out alive and obtain back to the bar in time for the campsite party!

It all starts on a Wednesday night when the festival’s mascot, King Leon, throws Bayonne’s city keys from the government building balcony right down to the crowds below. This ceremony kicks off the 5 days and nights of non-stop partying, dancing, firework dodging and sangria drinking alongside a number of the foremost delightful creatures France has got to offer.

There are carnival-like parades, tamborradas (an impressive parade of noisy drummers), Basque sport competitions, traditional Basque dance and music, also as nightly concerts and fireworks displays.

Get involved in French culture and take part on the planet championship of bell pepper omelets held at the local market!
