Many Braher slicers and thousands of people at Ham of Bayonne fair!

The 556th Bayonne Ham Fair, one of the oldest in Europe.

Of all the Basque specialties the word famous Bayonne Ham steals the show and has been appreciated here since the Middle Ages. Bayonne celebrates its famous Jambon de Bayonne every year over the Easter holiday weekend with the Foire au Jambon.

In existence since 1424, the fair gives visitors a chance to discover the traditional methods of production used to make Bayonne ham. These traditionally made hams are available to sample and for purchase from over 30 local producers.
