Basque houses and Nive quays in Bayonne poster

Bayonne festival poster, Basque houses on the Nive

Along the Nive in Bayonne, Basque houses with red shutters line up beneath the 2 spires of Sainte-Marie Cathedral. Red and white festival flags flutter above the rooftops, and on the quay a figure in a red scarf, seen from behind, takes in the scene. This Bayonne poster captures the atmosphere of festival days, with a pale blue sky, cream facades and touches of red on the shutters, the pennants and the scarf. The vertical composition draws the eye from the quays up to the spires. The title “BAYONNE” accompanies this festive view.

The colors of Bayonne for an entryway or a bar

Its red and white give character to an entryway, living room, kitchen or bar corner. Vertical, it fits easily in a hallway or near a door. It pairs well with raw wood, striped Basque linen, leather and white walls. It can join other Basque Country posters to build a regional wall. It makes a gift for a Bayonne native living far away, a regular at the Bayonne festivals or friends who share the white outfit and red scarf every summer.
