Bayonne has a significant cultural legacy, particularly known for its cathedral, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites as a stop on the Way of St. James pilgrimage route. The city has a strong tradition in craftsmanship, notably being the historical center of French chocolate-making since the 17th century when Jewish artisans, fleeing the Spanish Inquisition, brought their chocolate-making expertise to the region.
