With an average price of around 4 145 €/m², Bayonne sits at a high level, in keeping with its status as the central town of the Basque Country.

Bayonne is a sub-prefecture of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, the central town of the Basque Country, set at the confluence of the Nive and the Adour. The town is organised into three historic districts: Grand Bayonne, on the left bank of the Nive, around the Sainte-Marie cathedral and the shopping streets; Petit Bayonne, between the Nive and the Adour; and Saint-Esprit, on the right bank of the Adour, around the station.
A fortified town, Bayonne retains substantial ramparts, reworked by Vauban, as well as the Citadel that overlooks Saint-Esprit. Its history is shaped by trade, the port on the Adour and still-living traditions, from the Fêtes de Bayonne to its ham and its chocolate. Together with Anglet and Biarritz, the town today forms the heart of the Basque Country conurbation.
The geography of prices follows this history. The historic centre, Les Arènes and the southern and western residential areas such as Beyris command higher prices, driven by the appeal of the Basque Country and the proximity of the coast. The most affordable areas lie to the west, around Sainte-Croix.
The Bayonne market attracts first-time buyers, families, working people from the Basque Country conurbation, retirees and buyers from other regions. Demand focuses on apartments in the historic centre and the residential districts, as well as on houses in the southern and western areas. Prices, high for a town of this size, reflect the strong appeal of the Basque Country and the scarcity of land between the town, the coast and the mountains.
