How to get around Bayonne during the Tour de France?


Faced with the organisation of such a sporting event, the city of Bayonne will impose traffic and parking restrictions from 9pm on Sunday evening, 2 July, to 10pm on Monday, 3 July.

On that day, residents and spectators will be invited to use soft mobility (cycling, walking and urban transport).

The Txik Txak transport network deployed a special system for the day. All lines have been maintained, and some have been adapted to ensure that users can get around as smoothly as possible.
The network is adapting: several lines will take you to the heart of Bayonne and as close as possible to the Tour de France. A special Tour de France shuttle will run between the Ametzondo shopping centre and the Société Nautique, every 15 minutes from 6.30am to 8pm and then every 35 minutes from 8.15pm to 10.35pm. Shuttles N1 and N2 will not be running on 3 July.

  • Zones accessible to the public and first-aid posts set up all along the Bayonne route.
