- Biarritz - Biarritz has been a destination for royalty, including Edward VII and Alfonso XIII, and remains a favorite among the aristocracy, earning the title “the Queen of Resorts and the Resort of Kings.”
The drive to the stop is approximately 40 minutes.
The town features a blend of elegant bourgeois houses and mansions. This luxurious atmosphere is beautifully complemented by a laid-back surf culture, which has deep roots in Biarritz. This intriguing contrast is a key part of the town’s character.
The tour includes a walk along the promenade from coast to coast, visiting the lighthouse with stunning views, the art deco casino, the vibrant market, the fishing port, the neo-Gothic Saint Eugenie church, and “La rocher de la vierge.” Simply wonderful!
- Saint-Jean-de-Luz - Step back in time to uncover the secrets of this fishing village, highlighted by the marriage of Louis XIV of France and the Spanish princess Maria Teresa of Austria. The visit includes the Saint Jean Baptiste church, the Louis XIV square, the port, and the historic Maison Adam shop, which boasts over 350 years of history.
Don’t miss a stroll through the market or along Gambetta street, featuring the fish corner and local specialties like a wide variety of cheeses, the renowned piment d’Espelette, local ham, gateau basque (a famous creamy pie), and Basque-style table linens.
Before departing, enjoy a delightful walk along the Grand Plage, one of the village’s main attractions. Truly spectacular!
The drive to the stop is approximately 20 minutes.
- Socoa Beach - Located in the same bay, opposite Saint Jean de Luz, is the village of Ciboure and its charming neighborhood of Socoa, a hidden gem.
It offers a couple of lovely sandy beaches, a fishing port, and remarkable architecture. At the bay’s end stands the Fort of Socoa, constructed in the early 17th century to defend the port from Spanish invaders.
This is an ideal spot to enjoy a meal with a sea view. Savor local dishes such as mussels, seafood, squid, or fish, or opt for something lighter at any of the restaurants. Absolutely delicious!
