Ciboure and the neighbouring commune ofSaint-Jean-de-Luz were suspected of "incivility" during theFrench Revolution and, during theReign of Terror, were merged together under the nameChauvin-Dragon. The name was derived from a revolutionary soldier named Chauvin who, as a member of adragoon unit, died in the region in early 1793. Although the name was in official use from 1793-1795, it was never used by the inhabitants of the communes and the two were officially separated in 1800.[10]
TheNotre-Dame de Bordagain was the only church in Ciboure from its construction in the 12th century through 1575. A tower was added in the 14th century for military purposes. During the Revolution, the church and tower fell into disrepair. The building was restored and turned into atea house in 1911 by an architect from Saint-Jean-de-Luz. The business performed poorly and a proposal was made to turn it into a casino, which fell through. The church and tower were declared a historical monument in 1987 and were restored in 2010.[11][12]
