The Ste Marie Church and the Chapels in Bidart

Church in Bidart

The Sainte Marie Church in Bidart dates from the 16th century

It has wooden galleries overlooking the nave, an 18th century altar and a beautiful statue of St Jacques in pilgrim's costume.
The stunning Oriental-style baptismal font was given by Queen Natalie of Serbia, who retired in Bidart during her conversion to Catholicism.
The church often hosts choral Basque songs.
