BAIONA, en langue basque c'est la ville de Bayonne
Back from my trip to Bilbao, Euskadi,
I'm making a 3-day stop in Bayonne.
In Basque, it is BAIONA
I am staying in a youth hostel, Saint Esprit district, rue Sainte Catherine.
In this same street is the KAXU Gallery,
which highlights Urban Art.
In the extension, on the same shore of the Adour (right bank) is also located
DIDAM, the city's centre of Contemporary Art, as well as Art & Essays cinema,
