The journey from Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport to Bayonne is a genuine voyage through the contrasting landscapes of south-west France. The A63 motorway first crosses the Landes de Gascogne forest, western Europe's largest forest massif, a green ocean of maritime pines stretching over nearly one million hectares between the Gironde and the Adour. As you approach the Basque Country, the scenery changes dramatically: flat moorlands give way to lush green hills dotted with white-walled Basque farmhouses. Bayonne, built at the confluence of the Nive and Adour, is the historic and cultural capital of the French Basque Country. It enchants with its Sainte-Marie Cathedral (UNESCO), colourful half-timbered houses along the Nive quays, and exceptional gastronomic heritage — it is the French capital of chocolate and home to the famous Bayonne ham. The taxi from Bordeaux-Mérignac is particularly popular with international travellers wishing to reach the Basque coast directly.

Your driver meets you at the Bordeaux-Mérignac terminal exit and heads for the A63 via the southern ring road. The Landes motorway runs due south through the maritime pine forest, a soothing landscape that invites rest after your flight. After Dax, a renowned spa town, the scenery transforms: the first Basque Country hills appear, greener and more rolling. Bayonne is approached from the north, following the Adour river. A63 tolls total about €18 (included). The entry to Bayonne reveals Vauban's ramparts and the silhouette of Sainte-Marie Cathedral. Allow 2h normally, up to 2h30 on summer Fridays and during holiday rushes.
