Taxi Saint-Jean-de-Luz → Bayonne
Your Saint-Jean-de-Luz → Bayonne transfer at €50–€60. 25 km, capital of the French Basque Country.
A taxi between Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Bayonne costs between €50 and €60 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 25 kilometres and a journey time of from 20 to 35 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A63, with ~€2 in tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €80. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Bayonne is the historic and cultural capital of the French Basque Country, classified as a Town of Art and History. Built at the confluence of the Nive and Adour rivers, the city boasts half-timbered houses with red and green shutters typical of Basque architecture, medieval lanes and the majestic Sainte-Marie Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage routes. Bayonne is world-renowned as the chocolate capital of France: Basque chocolatiers carry on an ancestral craft introduced by Sephardic Jews in the 17th century. The city also hosts the Fêtes de Bayonne (late July), five days of white-and-red festivities attracting over a million visitors. The Petit Bayonne quarter between Nive and Adour concentrates pintxos bars and nightlife. The Basque Museum is Europe's largest Basque ethnography museum.
