price & details

FRESH CROISSANTS AND MARKETS FILLED WITH CHEESE & OYSTERS?

Out of all the places to spend their summer holiday the european royals chose the French Basque coast. Lives based on leisure and pleasure spent the warm months of the year drinking champagne and gambling here. Although our idea of luxury is the scent of fresh croissants, steamy coffee and markets filled with cheese, there are many reasons these towns are worth the visit. Nowadays you are going to find streets filled with chic shops, lazy afternoons filling plazas with people watchers, surfers showing off more out of the water than in, little romantic restaurants lighting their candles…all of that with a strong French accent!

BIARRITZ

One of the most posh beach resorts of the Basque Coast. It is a luxurious seaside town and is popular with tourists and surfers. Biarritz also boasts some of the best beaches in Europe. Biarritz’s became more renowned in 1854 when Empress Eugenie (the wife of Napoleon III) built a palace on the beach (now the Hôtel du Palais). The British royal family and European royalty regularly took vacations in Biarritz.

SAINT JEAN DE LUZ

Former Basque Corsairs’ capital, this small fishing village became rich in the 16th century from fishing and whaling. Piracy, added brought wealth to the town. The ‘finest moment’ for the town was in 1660, when Louis XIV married Marie-Thérèse of Spain in the town church – the Basque church of St John the Baptist

HONDARRIBIA

Driving through the beautiful "La Corniche" coastal road, we will get back to the Spanish side of the Basque Country. Hondarribia is one of the most beautiful towns of the Basque Country, it’s medieval old part, is one of the few fortified towns in the Basque Country. Its walls, most of which are still standing and are constantly being restored, give it a special appearance by evoking an epic past and by impregnating every corner, alley and square with aromas, flavors and sounds that take us back to other times. We could also find the typical Basque fishermen houses, with colorful balconies filled up with heaps of flowers.
