The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Les seigneurs de Gramont, souverains de Bidache, favorisèrent, dès la fin du 17e siècle, l'implantation de juifs dits Portugais à Bidache, les autorisant en 1665 à disposer de leur propre cimetière. Ce cimetière a été utilisé de la seconde moitié du 17e siècle à la seconde moitié du 18e siècle, jusqu'à la dispersion de la communauté juive. Il comporte une centaine de pierres tombales.

The lords of Gramont, sovereigns of Bidache, favoured, from the late 17th century, the establishment of Jews called Portuguese in Bidache, authorising them in 1665 to have their own cemetery. This cemetery was used from the second half of the 17th century to the second half of the 18th century, until the dispersal of the Jewish community. It comprises around a hundred tombstones.
