La Tour de Bordagain

L'église et la tour à usage militaire

Cet édifice est composé d’une église et d’une tour à usage militaire. L’église date du XIIe siècle et fut jusqu’en 1575 la seule église de Ciboure. La tour est accolée au XIVe siècle, elle était le point défensif d’un système militaire. En 1911 l’édifice fut loué à un architecte de Saint-Jean-de-Luz, il y fera un bar salon de thé. Le succès n’étant pas au rendez-vous, Monsieur Cerruti, propriétaire de la célèbre Réserve à Ciboure, proposa de transformer la Tour de Bordagain en Casino.

Grimper à la tour de Bordagain

De là-haut, le panorama est unique, avec une vue à 360°. Que ce soit la baie de Saint-Jean de Luz, la vue des Landes à Fontarrabie, ou les pyrénées Labourdines, avec mention spéciale la vue de la Rhune, la vue est immense.

Cet emplacement est occupé par une tour et une église. On ne sait trop si la tour fut le clocher de l’église avant de devenir une tour de guet. De là-haut, l’inspection de la mer était aisée. Servait-elle à regarder s’il y avait des baleines au large en mer ? Coté église, les historiens pensent que cette hauteur était déjà occupée par un oratoire avant la construction de cette église. Puis, l’explosion démographique de Ciboure nécessita pour les habitants de cette hauteur une église à proximité. Ce fut la création de Notre-Dame de la Mer sans doute dès le XIIème siècle Vers le XIVème siècle, on lui accola la tour-clocher.

Les guerres avec les Espagnols ont amoché l’edifice, mais cela n’empêcha pas les cultes de se poursuivre.

L’édifice perd sa fonction cultuelle

La Révolution changera les destinées de l’édifice qui perd sa fonction cultuelle. En 1910 c’est Pierre Saint-Germier l’architecte de Saint-Jean de Luz qui réaménage la chapelle et en fait un salon de thé sans grand succès.En 1945, René Marie y ouvrira un restaurant et des fresques sur le thème de la chasse à la baleine y seront peintes par le peintre albanais Ziko

De nos jours, la municipalité a récupéré l’édifice. En 1987, il a été inscrit à l’inventaire supplémentaires des Monuments Historiques par arrêté du 28 avril.

La tour quant à elle, a été restaurée. Son inauguration après travaux a eu lieu le 17 septembre 2010. Le site est devenu un lieu touristique. Des visites de l’office de tourisme y sont organisées, des expositions y sont présentées.

Dans la continuité de la fonction cultuelle du lieu, un pèlerinage dédié à Saint-André y est organisé chaque 30 novembre.

La Tour de Bordagain

La Tour de Bordagain à Ciboure. Cet édifice se compose en fait de deux éléments : l'église et la tour à usage militaire. L'église date du XIIe siècle et fut jusqu'en 1575 la seule église de Ciboure. Nationalisée sous la révolution, le cimetière disparut, l'église tomba en ruine et faillit être détruite. La tour fut accolée par la suite au XIVe siècle et fut le point défensif stratégique d'un système militaire. Il faut attendre 1911 pour que l'édifice soit loué à un architecte de Saint-Jean-de-Luz qui s'engage à le restaurer, il y fera un bar (salon de thé). Les affaires marchant mal, il y eut une proposition de Monsieur Cerruti, propriétaire de la célèbre Réserve à Ciboure, qui voulait transformer la Tour de Bordagain en Casino.

Le projet échoua et la municipalité récupéra l'édifice. Elle vient de restaurer magnifiquement en 2010 la tour qui est visitable avec l'Office de Tourisme.

Du haut de la tour, vous aurez une vue imprenable sur la baie et la Côte Basque. Elle abrite également des expositions…

Customer

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

Novodevichy Convent, Moscow

Moscow, a City Like No Other

Moscow is Russia’s largest city with a population of between 12 and 13 million. It is also Europe’s largest city and when you visit Moscow, you can feel it. The layout and architecture of the city is eclectic, ranging from crooked, ancient streets and alleyways to wide, bustling boulevards, from medieval churches to Stalin skyscrapers and to modern, glass buildings towering over everything and of course in the center of it all is the Kremlin and the magnificent Red Square. Moscow is also home to a fantastic, efficient and very beautiful metro system – each station having its own special design. In fact, Express to Russia’s Moscow metro tours and excursions are some of our most popular attractions that we offer. On our Moscow tours, you will see this and more.

Moscow Tours centering on Russian History

Moscow has a long and interesting history and has been the capital of Russia in many of its different iterations – capital of the Grand Duchy of Moscow , the Russian Empire and of course the Soviet Union (who could ever forget the Soviet Union?). Moscow, was founded in the 12th century by Prince Yuri Dolgaruki (Yuri of the long arms – he really did have long arms!). From that time on, it was home to the Russian Tsars until Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1703. The city has survived invasions and sieges from the Mongols, the Tartars, the Poles, Lithuanians and Napoleon but has always persevered. Our Moscow tours will enlighten you on this great history and give you insights into Muscovites and their unique culture. Our Moscow tours show you what the city is like today but also brings to life the past. Moscow never seems to sleep and is bursting with energy. A Moscow tour with Express to Russia is truly the best way of getting to know Russia’s largest and most vibrant city.

Frequently Asked Questions From Our Travelers

What is the best time to visit moscow.

Any time of year is fine depending on what you plan to do. Summertime is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring the city and its vibrant atmosphere, but Moscow will be much busier and accommodation is more expensive. Winter can be quite cold but beautiful nonetheless, and this is unproblematic if you intend to spend most of your trip in museums and galleries. There are also various festivals and events organised throughout the year. For more information about the best time to visit, read our guide

How many days are enough in Moscow?

If you plan your itinerary strategically and aren’t averse to a packed schedule, you can cover Moscow’s main sights over a long weekend. Most popular attractions are in the city centre, and the Moscow Metro allows you to cover much ground in a small amount of time. Ensure that your accommodation is fairly central and book tickets in advance, so that you can make the most of your days. For an informative and well-organised day out, check out our Moscow day tours with options to suit all interests.

Do they speak English in Moscow?

As Russia’s capital city, tourists are well accommodated in Moscow. There should be English-speaking staff in restaurants, bars, hotels, shops and attractions in tourist hotspots, and there are also English-speaking tourist police. Transport services have English translations on their maps and English announcements via intercom; alternatively, order taxis from the Yandex Taxi app (Russian Uber), though it’s unlikely that your taxi driver will speak English. If you get stuck and cannot communicate, it’s fine to use Google Translate.

Is it safe to travel to Moscow?

It is no less safe to travel to Moscow than to any European city if you exercise common sense and look after your belongings. As with every city some regions can be more unsavoury than others, but no tourist attractions are located there. The traffic in Moscow is notorious, so exercise caution when crossing roads. Do not take unlicensed taxis; book in advance or take public transport, which is widespread and perfectly safe. If you encounter any problems, look for the special tourist police who can help you. For more information, read our guide about staying safe in Russia .
