Arènes District - Basque Villa from 1938, Heritage and Character. Built in 1938 for Charles Paris, this remarkable Basque villa sits elegantly in the heart of the highly sought-after Arènes district in Bayonne. Set back slightly from the street, it presents an imposing and perfectly balanced silhouette, rising four stories and preserved in remarkable condition. The understated yet majestic façade incorporates all the hallmarks of Basque architecture from the interwar period: corbels, overhanging eaves with exposed rafters, arched openings, and a symmetrical composition. The whole asserts a strong, elegant, and timeless architectural presence. Inside, the original features have been carefully preserved: herringbone parquet floors, mosaic and terrazzo flooring, woodwork, marble fireplaces, antique joinery, and ironwork. The rooms are spacious, light is abundant, and circulation flows smoothly. The ground floor, primarily dedicated to reception rooms, opens onto beautiful terraces and a period pergola, a true extension of the living spaces outdoors. The upper floors house numerous bedrooms, each with a mosaic-tiled bathroom, as well as a light-filled artist's studio on the top floor, offering a unique and inspiring space. A full basement provides cellars, garages, workshops, a library, and utility areas, offering a level of functionality rarely seen in a residence of this era. Simultaneously a family home, a heritage property, and an exceptional estate, this property stands as a precious testament to Bayonne's architectural heritage, just steps from the bullring and the vibrant neighborhood.
