What You’ll Experience

1

Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Waking up early to embark on a gastronomic adventure through the Côte Basque is well worth it. This Atlantic coastal gem offers some of the most picturesque views and authentic flavors in the region. Our first stop will take us to Saint-Jean-de-Luz, where we’ll meet a master cheesemaker. An affineur is the guardian of cheese perfection, carefully maturing each piece until it’s at its peak. In Saint-Jean-de-Luz, we’ll sample a variety of cheeses curated by a skilled affineur, perfectly paired with an exquisite French wine from Irulegui.
1 hour 30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Maison Adam Place Louis XIV

Saint-Jean-de-Luz, nestled within its sheltered bay, is a charming fishing village with a fascinating history. At Maison Adam pastry shop, where the first macarons were created in 1660, we’ll indulge in a sweet slice of history. Nearby, we’ll uncover tales of the French corsair Johannès de Suhigaraychipi, whose daring exploits still echo through the town. A visit to the Church of St. John the Baptist, adorned with intricate wooden carvings and nautical-themed miniatures, brings us closer to the town’s seafaring legacy.

Phare de Biarritz

Known for its timeless sophistication, Biarritz has long been a hub of luxury and leisure. From its pioneering days as a beach destination 200 years ago to becoming Europe’s surf mecca in the 1950s, this city is a blend of heritage and style. We’ll stroll along its elegant promenade, take in views of the Atlantic, and marvel at the grand architecture, ending at the iconic lighthouse lookout.

Mercado Les Halles

The lively Les Halles Market is a feast for food lovers, offering the best of French culinary delights: cheeses, charcuterie, and freshly baked pastries. It’s the perfect spot to pick up a few gourmet souvenirs or simply savor the moment. Here, we’ll enjoy Arcachon oysters, prawns, and escargots, accompanied by a crisp white wine from Les Landes.
1 hour 30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
5

Hondarribia

Crossing the border into Spain, we’ll wrap up our tour in Hondarribia, a vibrant coastal town brimming with history and culinary wonders. From its medieval walled old town to its world-class pintxos, this is where the French and Spanish Basque influences blend seamlessly. As we enjoy a selection of the region’s finest specialities, we’ll also raise a glass of txakoli, the refreshing Basque white wine known for its slight effervescence and bright acidity—a perfect complement to the local flavors.
1 hourAdmission Ticket Free
