Saint-Jean-de-Luz
Description
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.
