This itinerary connects these two emblematic places of the Basque Country, passing by the Fort of Socoa and the Castle of Abbadia. So many names that make you dream! The historical itinerary is no longer accessible for security reasons (landslides). This new path, far from the traffic, allows you to discover beautiful panoramas on the Pyrenees as well as on the Atlantic Ocean. The Basque coast reveals itself to you in the most beautiful way!

From Saint-Jean-de-Luz to Hendaye, the route runs along the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and offers beautiful views of the protected cove of Socoa. Then, the route rises on ridges, spectacular and panoramic, before plunging back down to the large beach of Hendaye.

By taking advantage of a quick transfer by TER train, one can envisage a beautiful bike ride along the Basque coast. The itinerary begins in the heart of Guéthary, with a balcony overlooking its small port where the memory of the whale hunters from the 12th to the 14th century hovers in the air, as fishing is anchored in the Getarian soul. The coastal cliffs are full of lookouts over the ocean, once used by whale and ship watchers, which the tour proposed here does not fail to compile in a magnificent two-wheeled stroll. A first loop visits the inland and discreetly reaches the neighboring town of Bidart. Heritage, beaches and villas follow one another until passing through Guéthary. The second part of the itinerary flirts with the coastal path, towards Saint-Jean-de-Luz by the beaches of Acotz, on lanes dedicated to bicycles.

In the Basque Country, Saint-Jean-de-Luz lies in a bay on the Atlantic Ocean. A seaside resort, the town offers a fine sandy beach protected by three dykes built by order of Napoleon III, wilder beaches suitable for surfing (Lafiténia, Cénitz) and thalassotherapy centres for complete relaxation. Gourmet, it invites you to taste the Basque gastronomy and its products: the macaroons of Mr Adam (1660!), the mouchous and the Kanouga. Saint-Jean-de-Luz writes its history on plates of enamelled lava: the 19th century covered market, the traditional fishing port, still very active, from which the corsairs of Luz left, the Jacques Thibaud promenade facing the large beach, the casino complex La Pergola, the church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste where the marriage of Louis XIV and Marie-Thérèse of Austria took place, the Louis XIV square and its 17th century residences.

Built in 1643 by a rich ship-owner, this house welcomed the young King Louis XIV for several months in 1660 when he came to sign the Treaty des Pyrénées and marry the Spanish Infanta Marie Thérèse in the Church of Saint Jean de Luz.

Since 2006, wax characters from the Grevin museum in St Jean de Luz may be viewed.

The port of Saint-Jean-de-luz was one of the great fishing ports of France. There was the heyday of whale and cod fishing. At that time, the rich shipowners built the most beautiful houses which today make the charm of the city. Then the port acquired its notoriety with the sardine and tuna fishing. Several boats (baitboats and pole-and-line vessels) have left their mark on the history of Basque fishing. Today, the fishing port is home to a quality artisanal fishing industry concerned with preserving the resource. The Saint-Jean-de-Luz hake is representative of this approach.

A convent was built in 1611 by the franciscan monks of the branch of récollets on a small island in the middle of the Nivelle whose property had never been determined. The chapel was ended in 1613 then the convent in 1643. In the center of the court of the convent, a well-tank was built in 1662 thanks to the generosity of cardinal Mazarin on the occasion of the marriage of Louis XIV. In 1791, the monks were hunted by the Revolutionaries.
