A look at 1930s architecture – Guided tour with the Archistoire app
Take a guided tour of Bayonne’s architecture from the 1930s with the Archistoire app. Immerse yourself in the city’s history thanks to the 360° panoramas, aerial photographs and plans offered by the app… and discover the architects who shaped Bayonne’s urban development between the wars.
A 4-kilometer route starting from the ramparts, punctuated by 11 stages that retrace the architecture of the 1930s.
By downloading the Archistoire application, you can discover :
- Hôtel des postes: Designed by André Pavlovsky, this monumental neo-basque building features sober lines and structuring wood panelling.
- Garage Nivadour: This former Art Deco garage unfurls its concrete curves and glass facade in a manifesto of industrial modernity.
- Hôtel des douanes et ponts et chaussées : A classically rigorous administrative building, punctuated by a regular span and impeccably matched stonework.
- the Didam: contemporary, glazed volume for this museum designed to open up the exhibition space to the Nive river.
- Villa Malaye: Designed byAndré Pavlovsky, this asymmetrical structure combines bourgeois elegance and neo-Basque vocabulary.
In order to reconstruct the history of these sites, the CAUE drew on the documentary holdings of the City of Bayonne.
What’s more, throughout this guided tour with the Archistoire app, 360° panoramas and period photos enhance your wanderings to help you project yourself into 1930s Bayonne.
