About this experience
The picturesque coast of the French Basque Country will not leave anyone indifferent. During an 8-hour car tour, we will visit 3 cities: Bayonne – the center of Basque culture, Biarritz – the most fashionable resort on the Atlantic coast of France, and charming Saint-Jean-de-Luz.
Itinerary
The distance between these cities is short, but how different they are! Romans, Scandinavians, Basques, and Gascons lived on these lands, and each nation left its mark.
- The monumental, truly French Bayonne is the center of Basque culture in France. Here you will find the promenade of the Adour River with its intricate architecture and a history of how Spain lost its wealth.
- The imperial Biarritz will unfold before you in all the splendor of its grand promenade. The city, which just a century ago sparkled with magnificent balls and was the epicenter of the cultural life of aristocrats and adventurers, has a rather humble origin.
- The charming Saint-Jean-de-Luz became the city where the Sun King – Louis XIV – got married. The city's inhabitants cherish the memory of this event.
- During the tour, lunch is planned at a charming fisherman's restaurant in Biarritz (payment is separate).
