SARE

Sare is known as ‘‘one of the most beautiful villages in France’’, and the label is well-deserved. Standing at the foot of the Rhune, Sare is a major prehistoric site and has carefully preserved its Basque authenticity through its large pelota court, shaded streets and fine church with wooden galleries. Known for its festivities, its inhabitants’ love of tradition .

AINHOA

This is THE Basque village par excellence. It has everything: red and white houses, a pelote court alongside the church, and a cemetery full of the traditional disc-topped monuments. At sunset the mountains themselves turn «Basque red»

SAINT JEAN PIED DE PORT

The town was once a part of the Spanish province of Navarra and the Basque language is still spoken on both sides of the border and they still share similar traditions.The town has traditionally been an important point on the Way of St. James, the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, as it stands at the base of the Roncevaus Pass across the Pyrenees.

BIDARRAY AND ESPELETTE

The beginning of the Pyrenees is easily observed from Bidarray's 12th century church's promenade. From here, we will take a fascinating back-road, that crosses the famous Pass Du Roland and take us to Espelette.
