Itinerary

1

Bayonne

Discover Bayonne, the cultural heart of the French Basque Country. Walk through its colourful old town, admire its traditional architecture and explore the streets shaped by the Nive and Adour rivers. Along the way, learn about the city’s Basque identity, its famous festivals and its long connection with chocolate and Bayonne ham. Depending on the day, there may also be time to visit a local shop or taste a regional speciality.

2

Biarritz

Continue to Biarritz, an elegant seaside city where royal history, Basque traditions and surf culture come together. During the visit, discover the Grande Plage, the Hôtel du Palais, the old fishing harbour and the Rocher de la Vierge. Learn how a former whaling village became one of Europe’s most fashionable coastal resorts. There will also be time to enjoy lunch and explore part of the city at your own pace.

Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Explore one of the most charming towns on the French Basque Coast. Walk beside the fishing harbour, discover its historic streets and hear stories of fishermen, corsairs and wealthy shipowners.

You will also have some free time to browse local shops, enjoy a coffee or taste a traditional speciality.
