the French village

Arbonne (aʁbɔn; ) is a commune in French Basque Country, a region of the Pyrénées Atlantiques department in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region of southwestern France.

Arbonne is located some 6 km south of Biarritz and 3 km east of Bidart. It is part of the Urban area of Bayonne and is located in the former province of Labourd. Access to the commune is by road D255 from Biarritz in the north passing through the village and continuing south to Saint Pée sur Nivelle. The D655 branches off the D255 in the south of the commune and goes to Ahetze. The A63 autoroute passes through the northern tip of the commune but has no access from the commune. In the south of the commune is the hamlet of Le Hameau d'Arbonne. The rest of the commune is mainly farmland with patches of forest especially in the north. Located in the drainage basin of the Adour, the commune is traversed by the Uhabia, a small coastal river that flows into the ocean at Bidart, and its tributaries: the Zirikolatzeko erreka and the Ruisseau d'Argelos. The Ruisseau de Pemartin also flows through the commune and there is an extensive network of streams throughout the commune.

The oldest lord of Arbonne whose names are known are from the Sault family, Viscounts of Labourd. At the end of the 14th century the lordship was owned by the Saint Julien family (originally from Lower Navarre) and then in 1408 to the Amezqueta family. which determined the new administrative landscape of France by creating departments and districts, created the Department of Basses Pyrénées to bring together Béarn, the Gascon lands in Bayonne and Bidache, and three French Basque provinces. For these three provinces three districts were created: Mauléon, Saint Palais, and Ustaritz which replaced the Bailiwick of Labourd. The seat of Ustaritz was transferred almost immediately to Bayonne. Its Directorate pushed many municipalities into adopting new names conforming to the spirit of the Revolution. Arbonne was called Constante, Ustaritz became Marat sur Nive, Itxassou Union, Saint Étienne de Baïgorry Thermopyles, Saint Palais Mont Bidouze, Saint Jean Pied de Port Nive Franche, Louhossoa Montagne sur Nive, Saint Jean de Luz Chauvin Dragon, Ainhoa Mendiarte, and Souraïde Mendialde.

The inhabitants of the commune are known as Arbonars in French.

The commune is part of the Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) zone of Ossau iraty.
